From: Glenn on 25 Aug 2005 15:32 Every time I exit out of OE, it wants to compress files. I have lots of room and don't want it to. It has an option to click telling it to not ask me again and I click it. It still does it on the next exit. Anyway to tell it to mind it's one business?? Glenn
From: Bruce Hagen on 25 Aug 2005 15:40 Compacting, not compressing, your folders periodically is a must to keep OE functioning well and at some point, you may lose all your saved messages if you don't. With SP2, automatic background compacting was removed due to problems it caused. Now you will get a prompt to compact after 100 OE closings, which you should do. See this for more information: http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm#compact And this is a very good option: Steve Cochran has added a button in his new version of OE Tool that will not only Compact All Folders, but at the same time, resets the "Compact Check Count" to zero whenever you compact manually. You will see the prompt again if you do not compact before 100 closings. http://www.oehelp.com/OETool/ It is still advised to check Work Offline before you compact. You removed the prompt, but not the action which can't be removed. If you want to replace the Compact Prompt: Go to: Start>Run>Regedit>Enter and follow this path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{GUID}\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0\Don't Show Dialogs. In the right pane right click on the appropriate entry and choose Delete.

From: Glenn on 25 Aug 2005 17:13 OK, thanks, What I understand is that it is just getting rid of the deadwood and not messing with my saved messages. IE: cleaning up pointers. Why the heck didn't they say so in the first place and you guys would get a lot less questions. Course if you want a really screwed up OS, I have been looking at linux and said no way. Now they call me a wintroll. {G} Glenn "Bruce Hagen" <Nospam(a)mymail.invalid> wrote in message news:u7BQGzaqFHA.3788(a)TK2MSFTNGP12.phx.gbl > Compacting, not compressing, your folders periodically is a must to > keep OE functioning well and at some point, you may lose all your > saved messages if you don't. > > With SP2, automatic background compacting was removed due to > problems it caused.

From: Bruce Hagen on 25 Aug 2005 19:25 If they made it easy, we would be out of our purely volunteer *jobs*. It's similar to Defragging. Just gets rid of wasted space and speeds things up. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP - (IE/OE) ~IB-CA~ "Glenn" <pilcheg(a)kc.rr.com> wrote in message news:ewR2KnbqFHA.2072(a)TK2MSFTNGP14.phx.gbl... > OK, thanks, What I understand is that it is just getting rid of the > deadwood and not messing with my saved messages.

See this for more information: >>> http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm#compact Rereading the above paragraph it dawned on me that the reason I didn't want the compacting was because after sp2, things screwed up with it. I didn't realize there had been a patch to fix it. Hmmm, maybe linux isn't so bad. {G} Glenn
