Default Copying while Compacting

Yes.
It's from this update:
There are two articles, KB918766 and KB918651, but the latter is not
currently available. The download link is
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en

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 downloaded KB918766 to automate the registry counter reset after manual
compacting. Everything seemed to work fine, except I noticed that during
the compacting a Copying window popped up from time to time. Is that
normal behavior? I had never seen that before I downloaded the Hotfix.
Thanks.

Yes, because it is copying a file to the Recycle Bin, changing the file
name from DBX to BAK. This is so that if the compacting screws up you
will have a backup.
