Dl'ed regmon, and set it to filter "Compact Count Check."

Running all night and opening and closing OE a couple of times, nothing
appears in the monitor window.

When OE opens, it checks for email, and I check about 30 email addresses.
:-)

Why would there be no Compact Count Checks recorded?

Thx.

If you have compacted and still get the prompts, read on.

The problem is with the registry counter that gives you the prompt after
100 closings of OE. It is being increased quicker than it should be. There
is a growing number of programs and actions that may be causing this after
installing SP3. Do you have any of the following?

IBM Rapid Access keyboard (driver) RAKDLL.DLL
Windows Desktop Search
Window Live Mail (even if it was removed)
Mailwasher
Nero plug-in(s)

Opening EML files while OE is closed will also contribute to the registry
count.

Various anti-virus, anti-spyware and third party firewalls, especially if
they were running when you installed SP3.

You could also download RegMon:

Run the program and monitor the Compact Count Check registry value by
filtering on: Compact Count Check.

This should identify the program that is causing the rapid increase in the
Compact Check Count registry value.

Um, how do I tell OE NOT to keep asking me if I want to compress folders?

It's happening at least once a day now.

Thx.
