I compact folders each night manually in OE and have never had any

Just tonight, OE started copying all the dbx files to the recycle bin
as I manually compress. They show up there with a BAK extension.
Can anyone shed any light on this for me. I don't think I've changed
any settings and this has never happened before.
If possible I need to know what's happening and why and how to
correct it if it's an issue please.
Thank you

It's an update from Windows Update. Now, when you compact, OE sets the
count back to zero and backs up your messages and puts them in the
recycle bin. It's normal and about time they released it. I've had it
for months. If, after a reboot, your OE hasn't lost any messages, you
can delete the items in the recycle bin.

Alias: One of the goofiest schemes that Microsoft has come up with in a
while. What on earth has happened?...these guys are nuts. Filling up my
computer with a whole bunch of useless backups which I didn't want or
ask for is just plain dumb.

I know, the MVPs will say...well if you don't like the patch, then
uninstall it. I say, if they are going to re-program OE or patch it,
then do it correctly, not with stupid easy routines that don't really
correct things but just mask them or give you an out if things go wrong.

In the meantime, put up with this BS, and for gawds sake don't
complain...as it will do no good.

I prefer the OT Tool and using OE Freebie Backup myself. When I
reformat, that feature will not be a part of my downloads.
