256986 Description of the Microsoft Windows Registry



SUMMARY
This article describes where Microsoft Outlook Journal settings are stored in the Windows Registry.



MORE INFORMATION
In Outlook, you can set the journal to automatically record items. To do this:
 * 1) On the Tools menu, click Options.
 * 2) In Options, click the Journal Options button.

WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

On the Journal Options page, you have options to automatically record items and also record files from other Microsoft Office programs. The settings are stored in the Windows Registry in several registry keys. These keys are located in the Registry under the following location:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Outlook\Journaling\

Each key pertains to a specific journal setting. For example, the settings for automatically recording Meeting responses are at the following location:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Outlook\Journaling\ Meeting Response

The settings for recording files from Microsoft Word are at the following location:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Outlook\Journaling\ Microsoft Word

In each key there is a Name value called &quot;Enabled&quot; (without quotation marks) with a Data value of either &quot;0x00000001(1)&quot; (without quotation marks) for on or &quot;0x00000000(0)&quot; without quotation marks)for off. If this Name key is missing, the setting is off. For example, if the Enabled Data value is set to 0x00000001, then Microsoft Word files are automatically added to the journal.

Each key also contains a Name value &quot;AutoJournaled&quot; (without quotation marks), which determines if the item shows up in the Journal Options as setting that you can select. If you set the AutoJournaled Data value to 0x00000000(0), it removes Word from the Journal Options.

The following examples demonstrate how to turn on the Word setting and how to remove Word as an option in the journal.

Automatic Recording of Word Files in the Journal
 On the Tools menu, click Options. Click Journal Options, and then click to clear the Microsoft Word check box. Click OK twice to close all the dialog boxes. This disables the automatic recording of Word files. Click Start, and then click Run. In the Open box, type regedit, and then click OK. In the Registry Editor, locate and click to select the following key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Outlook\ Journaling\Microsoft Word

</li> In the Name column, double-click Enabled to open the Edit DWord Value box.</li> In the Value data box, type 1, and then click Close. The Data value for Enabled should appear as 0x00000001(1).</li> On the Registry menu, click Exit to close the Registry Editor.</li></ol>

If you check your journal settings in Outlook, Word should now be selected.
