into Notepad (Start > Programs > Accessories > Notepad) and save it as
"oefixedsys.reg" (when in the save as window, type the quotes around it
otherwise it may save as oefixedsys.reg.txt.)

Find the file in Windows Explorer (ie Open 'My Computer', then navigate to
where you saved the file)  (it may be on the desktop)

Double-click the file just created, (make sure outlook express isn't running
at this point) and a message will appear saying that the information has
been entered into the registry. When you restart Outlook Express, it should
be in a proper asciiart friendly font.
