    robert,
    interesting.
    i was looking for where outlook stored rss feeds (because i originally subscribed to certain sites, and then did the rss feeds — so i was doubling up on everything)
    basically, i want to see the individual items, read and if i like it, then archive it to a directory on my laptop.
    if i don’t like it, i want to discard it.

    so, based on your article, found by accident, maybe i should have the rss feed go to google, not take up room on my machine, and then archive what i want on my machine?

    make sense?
    on’t use google that much, except for searches, so i’m not thinking about it as additional disk space.

    do i have this right?

    thanks,
    ron
