You're welcome.

Deleting the identities in Regedit will only effect OE. (Again, be sure
which ones you are deleting).

Thanks for the info. Will deleting Identities this way with Regedit
affect anything except Outlook Express?

Right click on the dbx files you are no longer using and Delete.

For Identities you are no longer using:

In Regedit, navigate to this key:

|--HKEY_CURRENT_USER
|-----Identities
|--------{GUID}

and delete the identities no longer in use.

Just make sure you delete the correct identities and dbx files.

I have a bunch of old files left over from old, no longer used email
accounts in Outlook Express 6 and I want to remove them.

Some are for Identities that still exist in OE. I have done the
File/folder/delete action and then compacted all folders, but the
file(s) still exists in -

C:\documents and settings\user1\local settings\application
data\identities\{sdklfj etc}\microsoft\outlook express\

or in -

C:\windows\application data\identities\{sdklfj etc}\microsoft\outlook
express\

In some other cases the Identity no longer exists, but the files are
still there.

How can I clean this up? Can anyone walk me thru this or point me to a
good site?

thanks
