I am not sure why you are installing OE6 since it came with your XP
operating system, and I have never seen this before.

However...............

Go to: StartRunRegeditOK and find this key.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{GUID for Identity
\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0. In the right hand pane and find
*Compact Check Count* and set the value to what you are requested to do.

Where do I enter this info? I can't seem to figure it out and I'm no
newbie.

TIA,
