Thanks Bruce (and Alias for asking). I had to go into the
registry to fix it.
Cheers, jim

Then there is an optional update for OE waiting for you at
Windows Update.

Note to others: You must be running WinXP SP2 for this update.

What's the KB number?

Thanks,

Alias

I lost it. I knew right where it was stored, but there was a
glitch in the MS newsgroups and the email is gone. I hope Steve or
Jim or Bruce or Vincent or one of the other regulars will jump in
with the article number. I'll save it better this time.

WindowsXP-KB918766-v2-x86-ENU.exe

I downloaded it and it does, indeed, set the counter back to zero
with a manual compaction. However, it also backs up the folders
which gives it a new little window that is named "copying" that pops
up when it hits a large .dbx file. I wonder to where it copies them?

There are two articles, KB918766 and KB818651, but the latter is not
currently available. The download link is

Yes, it places the backup in Recycled, overwriting any earlier backup
of the sane folder(s). To use it, copy it to the store folder,
delete the one you want to replace and then rename the BAK file to
DBX. (It's a bit more complicated if the messed up DBX file isn't
there or contains messages that are hew that you want to keep.

I use OE Freebie back up and back up before I do any compacting.

Smart man!

So when are you putting it on line again so we can all be smart?
