Here's a little script I use to find what my user's identity is and to apply HKCU\Identities\{Identity} tweaks to:

@ECHO OFF
ECHO Configuring Outlook Express...
for /f "Tokens=5" %%i in ('REG QUERY HKCU\Identities /v "Default User ID"^|find "Default"') do set default_identity=%%i
REG ADD "HKCU\Identities\%default_identity%\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0" /v "Launch Inbox" /t REG_DWORD /d 00000001 /f
REG ADD "HKCU\Identities\%default_identity%\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0" /v "Show Contacts" /t REG_DWORD /d 00000000 /f

I couldn't figure out how to use the IEAK to suit my purposes (basically add a few default HKCU settings for Outlook Express) and have found this method works just fine.

(little bump lol)

That's a reaaaly great tips... i've been looking for a while

I've add some settings, here's my script (attachements: 3Kb)
