Helo there,
I am trying to configure a batch file to setup Outlook Express for roaming user profiles.
I need to be able to edit the "Store Root" for this key. [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities{some value}\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0]
The issue i am having is with the {some value} portion of the key.
My understanding is that this is the User Id and have been trying all kinds of %USERID%, %User_ID% variations...but nothing seems to work.
Does anyon have any ideas on how i can access this {some value} so i can enter it in when i modify the registry?

A little higher up in the chain I see the GUID number defined by userID name. But then you would need the name(s) instead. Look here for those? [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities]
Perhaps using Identity Ordinal under the same key as an offset into multiple ID GUIDs/names? Not real sure how it all works either, sorry.
