Rules In Outlook Express 5.5 and 6.0!
In Outlook Express 5.5 and 6.0, junk email is handled
a slightly different way. Choose the "Tools" menu and
click "Message Rules." Then choose "Blocked Senders
List." Here you can add email addresses that regularly
send you unwanted email.
When you receive email from that person, Outlook
Express will automatically dump it into your "Deleted
Items" folder. You can also create customized rules
that will filter incoming email based on rules you
specify.
For example, you could set a rule to delete all email
that has the subject "Make Thousands a Week" in the
subject line. This tool can be accessed by choosing
the "Tools" menu and clicking "Message Rules" then
"Mail."
Clear Your Run History!
If you are someone who uses the run command (located
off the Start Menu), you'll notice that you have a run
history or run list. These are commands or paths that
you have previously typed in. The run history
eliminates the need for you to type in a command or
path that you typed in previous. It's similar to the
auto-complete feature in Internet Explorer.
TweakUI address:

I recommend using TweakUI.
So how do you get rid of the run history?
Unfortunately, unless you are running TweakUI, you
have to edit the registry and delete the entries
manually. To do so:
Open the registry. Navigate to the following registry
key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerRunMRU.
Highlight the entry you want to remove from the run
history. For example, "a." From the Edit menu, click
Delete (or you can simply press the Delete key on the
keyboard). Click Yes to confirm your actions. Double
click the MRUList value and remove the letter that you
deleted from the list. Click OK. Close the registry.
