Outlook Express Message Rules.... Rule is disabled

[Chomauk]

On my XP Pro machine I have several Message Rules, however, one is disabled(I don't know why). I highlight the rule but I cannot move it down or up and I cannot edit the rule description...can't click on anything. Other than that the email that's supposed to be moved there does and all the other rules work. I can't find this anywhere on the net....Any suggestions?


thanks

Some time ago, there was another thread here at TT with the same condition, but I can't seem to find it. My suggestion would be to delete the offending rule from directly from the registry using the info from the fist link that linney provided. As always be sure to backup the registry first, just in case.
