Where does Outlook XP store the data for rules wizard rules? I have searched for *.rwz files but no cigar. I thought those were exported rules anyway? Where does Outlook XP (not Express) actually store the ORIGINAL data that it actually uses when applying rules to new e-mail? Is it now in the PST file? Help.

Patrick: Outlook rules are stored in .rwz files with the name of your profile.

to find the rules files your program uses;

make a small change, save the file and
use Explorer to find the files that were created in the last day.

click Tools, Find, Files or Folders and click on the Date Modified tab.
after all the files are listed, click on the Modified bar (Click on View, Details if this is not visible) and the files will be sorted by time and date.

your file should be near the top of the list.
