Identifying default outlook profile


I have managed to return all the profiles using this registry path:- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\xx.0\Outlook\Profiles\Outlook\9375CFF0413111d3B88A00104B2A6676\00000002

However I am now wondering how to determine the default profile. In other words is there a reg key that identifies the default profile from the rest of the profiles.

Thank you in advance.


Solution

  • Outlook 97-2010 The REG_SZ DefaultProfile under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles contains the value (subkeyname) of the default profile.

    Since Outlook 2013 (v15) The same structure exists for newer versions in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\%version%\Outlook\Profiles
