To create a CD to preserve user email data, I plan to move Outlook Express and the address book to drive D. The code used is:
reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{F4E98C86-4D9A-463F-920C-1DF555C3B434}\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0" /v "Store Root" /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d "D:\\Personal\\Outlook Express" /f

Has everyone used such code? Actually, there are great limitations. {F4E98C86-4D9A-463F-920C-1DF555C3B434} is different for each system. How to read this value according to the system code?
Also, there is a batch processing solution for the address book problem.

I think it should be more practical to read the CLSID and use it as a variable, which makes writing the registry very easy.

I provide a fragment of my batch processing for reference:

...



:: Define the storage location of Outlook Express files

set outlook="D:\My Documents\My Mails\Outlook Express"



:: Modify the default save location of Outlook Express

set userid=

tfind > nul

reg query "HKCU\Identities" /v "Default User ID" | tfind "Default User ID" | lmod set USERID= > temp.bat

call temp.bat

del temp.bat

if "%userid%"=="" goto _quit

reg add "HKCU\Identities\%USERID%\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0" /v "Store Root" /d %outlook% /f



:_quit

...

This batch processing was written a long time ago. Now it can completely use find or for instead of third-party software like tfind and lmod.

This code is relatively complex, and using third-party software is quite troublesome. Can Climbing provide a code that doesn't use third-party software?

Replace the following lines in the above batch:

tfind > nul

reg query "HKCU\Identities" /v "Default User ID" | tfind "Default User ID" | lmod set USERID= > temp.bat

call temp.bat

del temp.bat

with:

for /f "usebackq tokens=4,*" %%i in (`reg query "HKCU\Identities" /v "Default User ID" ^| find /i "Default User ID"`) do set UserID=%%j

This way, there are no third-party software.

Thanks Climbing, the code is as follows, including address book backup

:: Modify the default save location of Outlook Express
set userid=
for /f "usebackq tokens=4,*" %%i in (`reg query "HKCU\Identities" /v "Default User ID" ^|

find /i "Default User ID"`) do set UserID=%%j
if "%userid%"=="" goto _quit
reg add "HKCU\Identities\%USERID%\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0" /v "Store Root" /d

"D:\Personal Important Data\Outlook Express" /f

:: Modify the default save location of Outlook Express address book
reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\WAB\WAB4\Wab File Name" /v "" /t REG_SZ /d "D:\Personal Important Data\Outlook Express\Address Book\Administrator.wab" /f >nul 2>nul

:: Transfer Outlook Express address book
xcopy %USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Address Book\*.wab "D:\Personal Important Data\Outlook Express\Address Book" /e /y >nul 2>nul
