The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Outlook: Rules Wizard - Need to Export or Edit Contents of a Particular Rule

Asked by WizeOwl in Microsoft Office Suite, Outlook Groupware Software

Tags: , , ,

--------------------------------------
       Description of Problem
---------------------------------------
I've created a custom rule with the Rules Wizard that has a list of entries in it.  The rule is that, when these phrases appear in the email header, the message should be moved to another folder.  

         Apply this rule after the message arrives
         with __________ in the message header
       
When you click on the area of text after "with", the entries appear in a scrollable dialog box with a text box which allows you to add or remove items.  When this list gets above 100 items, however, it gets unmanageable and difficult to see what entries are invalid or duplicates.


------------------------------------
          My Question
------------------------------------
I'm looking for a way to edit this list in an external editor and clean it up, delete invalid entries that I don't want.   I've tried using a HexEdit tool but that does not lend itself to the task.  Unlike the "Safe Senders" and "Junk Senders" lists, I don't see a way to export this type of Rules list.  

Does anyone have another method or idea?


-------------------------------------
          Question Part 2
-------------------------------------
Also, I'm not sure which file these phrases are being stored in.  Here is a list of files in my settings folder:

C:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

1. This one seems very old, so I wonder if it is even being used anymore; so which file is it?  RWZ stands for Rules Wizard but I don't understand why the date hasn't been updated since I use it all the time.  Must be another file...
             Microsoft Outlook Internet Settings.RWZ     20 KB       1/23/2006

2. This one is dated recently and has a larger file size.  What does NK or NICK and SRS stand for?
             Microsoft Outlook Internet Settings.NK2    887 KB       7/5/2007

3.         Microsoft Outlook Internet Settings.NICK       1 KB     12/5/2006
4.         Microsoft Outlook Internet Settings.srs          4 KB     12/5/2006
5.         Microsoft Outlook Internet Settings~7.srs      8 KB      6/5/2007

Miscellaneous Files:
6.         outitems.log                                              1,410 KB     7/5/2007
7.         Microsoft Outlook Internet Settings.xml           4 KB     7/5/2007
8.         OutlPrnt                                                          39 KB     7/5/2007
9.         outcmd.dat                                                     15 KB     7/5/2007
