locked Outlook Signature Registry Settings
Posted: 07 Apr 2023, 12:24
Le firme di Outlook si trovano in %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Signatures
ISSUE: just intalled Office 2021 (Home & Business) on a brand new PC with WIndows 11 Pro on it.
I can create a new signature in Outlook, but I cannot set any option in the section Choose default signature
All the fields in that section are greyed out:
E-mail account: greyed out
New messages: greyed out
Replies/forwards: greyed out
I'm aware that you could set some registry keys specifying what signature a user must use (i.e. a corporate could want all of its users to use only corporate approved signatures), bua in this case these keys are not set...so, after many researches, this is what I've discovered until now:
1) Where are saved registry settings to tella Outlook what signature to use for a profile
New versions store the signature in registry key with the profile - if you use Outlook as the profile name, the signature for the first account is the profile is here:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Profiles\Outlook\9375CFF0413111d3B88A00104B2A6676\00000001 <== this last number is different for each email account in the profile.
