I'm not sure if this is the right forum to ask this question, but I am wondering where the Outlook files which contain user created signatures are located. Our technicians save all the .pst files and move them to a user's new setup, but the signature files are always left out.

Can you tell me where they are located, and how to transfer them to a new setup, so they don't have to be recreated?

On Windows NT 4.0 this is where they go.

C:\WINNT\Profiles\vinny.001\Application Data\Microsoft\Signatures

It is under my Windows profile name.

If you look at the old setup under Tools, Options, Mail Format in outlook you can see the Signature name.

Do a search of the local harddrive to find that name. You should find 3 files. One is a HTML doc, one is a Word DOC, and one is a Text doc for the signatures. Those files must be copied and put in the correct folder on the new setup.

Then all you do is drop down the List box and pick the signature that you want to use.

It depends on your OS, but in win2000 you can find these under:

c:\documents and settings\username\application data\microsoft\signatures

usually it's either a name.rtf or name.txt file -- maybe both.

generally most people name their signature files with their first name. For instance, I have an Anna.rtf and an Anna.txt that has my signature file contents.

If your OS is not Win2000, then you should be able to find these by looking for the subdirectory called "Signatures"
