The Outlook signatures are located in :C:\Documents and
Settings\%profile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Signature
How do you found out programmaticaly what is the signatures being used ? is
this in a Registry Key ?
 
Hi,
because the user could add a signature different from the default, I´d
think the easiest way would be reading the files and compare with the
mail body.
 
Thanks. I though about it but in fact what I would like is to set the default
to a specific signature. The idea here is to add a few different signatures
(files) on user's profiles and find a way so the default signature is the one
I decide (maybe thru registry I thought)
 
The values are stored in the registry somewhere, depending on your OL
version.

In OL 2003 you can define a sig per account. You need to search the
proper account under:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows
Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\[User]\9375CFF0413111d3B88A00104B2A6676

Under the account in turn you´ll find the default sig in: New Signature.

Note: After changing the registry values you´d need to restart OL.
