Thanks Jim. This is exactly the answer I was looking for. It looks like that
I can also use a file redirect symbol to send the output to a file that I can
read with Notepad which has been the common method of getting a text file of
a directory. That's great thanks. I could even use this method from VB by
creating and then executing a batch file. What about using the GetAllRegistry
or an API function to read the registry from VB? The examples posted in the
VB6 setup CDs do not function with VB6 SP6.

Export your blocked sender list from the registry as "blocked senders.reg"

Close OE and click Start|Run and type
regedit. In Regedit, navigate to this key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{GUID}\Software\Micro soft\Outlook
Express\5.0\Block Senders

and export the entire key as "blocked senders.reg" and save it to the root
directory of your hard drive. Then open a command window by typing on the
Start/Run line (depending on your OS as below):

command (W95-WinMe) or
cmd (Win2000/XP) and then type in the window:

C:\find "@" "blocked senders.reg" | sort

You will then get a text listing of all of your blocked senders that you can
copy/paste into Notepad.

Where is the OE blocked senders list stored? I need to sort it and print
it
and share it with my friends. How can I make a copy of it and do the
above?

You could ask in a VB newsgroup. I gave up programming a long time ago when
we moved away from the dot [.] commands while using databases. But I can
still remember how to work from a command line.

After a few extra lines of script to get the correct {GUID} (don't know if a
wild character can be used instead) using

C:\find "@" "blocked senders.reg" | sort "c:\blocked senders list.txt"

followed by:

notepad "c:\blocked senders list.txt"

automates the whole process meanign that doing it in VB will be a snap.

Using reg instead of regedit provides a few more options.
