Getting outlook signature details using C#

I’m working on a project that needs to accessing outlook’s signature setting using C#. Usually you can enable and disable the signature setting, Is there a way to access and read the outlook’s settings from my project? Example see if it the signature is enabled or disable.

Thanks

  • There is a way. You can find the signatures in the following folder. The actual path depends on the user name:

    C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Signatures

    There look for the following files and folders;

    • <signature_name>.htm - This file is used when creating HTML messages.
    • <signature_name>.rtf - This file is used when creating Rich Text messages.
    • <signature_name>.txt - This file is used when creating Plain Text message.
    • <signature_name>_files - This folder is used to store supporting files for your signature such as formatting, images and/or business cards (vcf-files).
