November 25, 2003

You can save your custom Outlook categories by exporting a registry key.

Outlook 2000
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\9.0\Outlook\Categories

Outlook 2002
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Outlook\Categories

Outlook 2003
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Categories

Right click on the Categories folder and choose Export.

To restore it double click the *.reg.

Note that the key does not exist until you create a custom category.
