I compact folders each night manually in OE and have never

Just tonight, OE started copying all the dbx files to the
recycle bin as I manually compress. They show up there with a
BAK extension.
Can anyone shed any light on this for me. I don't think I've
changed any settings and this has never happened before.
If possible I need to know what's happening and why and how
to correct it if it's an issue please.
Thank you

It's an update from Windows Update. Now, when you compact, OE
sets the count back to zero and backs up your messages and
puts them in the recycle bin. It's normal and about time they
released it. I've had it for months. If, after a reboot, your
OE hasn't lost any messages, you can delete the items in the
recycle bin.

Alias: One of the goofiest schemes that Microsoft has come up
with in a while. What on earth has happened?...these guys are
nuts. Filling up my computer with a whole bunch of useless
backups which I didn't want or ask for is just plain dumb.

I know, the MVPs will say...well if you don't like the patch,
then uninstall it. I say, if they are going to re-program OE or
patch it, then do it correctly, not with stupid easy routines
that don't really correct things but just mask them or give you
an out if things go wrong.

In the meantime, put up with this BS, and for gawds sake don't
complain...as it will do no good.
