To change your dictionary in Microsoft Windows NT Mail from the

HKEY_USERS
If you want to modify the dictionaries of all subsequent users on

to HKEY_CURRENT_USER.
- Select the following subkey:

from the Edit menu and add the following subkey:
MS Proofing Tools
- Select the MS Proofing Tools subkey. Using the Add Value option of
the Edit menu, add the following two values:
