Query Builder

Find it



Another way to retrieve information in Outlook.
Outlook 2002 through 2007 has an option for filtering dialog called QueryBuilder.

To use it you just need to add the QueryBuilder key to the registry:

  1. Use Regedit to go to the appropriate location.
  2. Right click and choose to add a new Key.
  3. Name it QueryBuilder.


There aren't any other entries that need to be made.

Outlook2002:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Outlook\QueryBuilder


Outlook 2003:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\QueryBuilder


The next time you go to Tools>Advanced Find, there will be a new tab for the Query Builder.


Now you can create an AND/OR query using the Filter dialog in Search Folders, Define Views, Automatic Formatting, or Advanced Find.

With Outlook 2007:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Outlook\QueryBuilder


Go to Tools>Instant Search>Advanced Find.
The shortcut is Ctrl+Shift+F.

For more information, see:

Replace Today

Weather or not



Replace MSNBC's Outlook Today page

"For the past several years, MSNBC provided a customized Outlook Today page that added news, weather, and stocks to the Outlook Today page. They recently discontinued the service and provided instructions to uninstall it.

Not all is lost however. You can replace their news, weather, and stock feeds with feeds of your own. FrontPage offers replacement applets in the Insert, Web components menu or you can find scripts or applets on the Internet to use.

Here is a replacement page available for download. You will need to enter your own zip code or ICAO code for local weather, instructions are here. Instructions are in the HTML to change the news to feed to international or to provide sports news etc."
