Compacting folders
I noticed in one of the newsletters, instructions on how to compact oe
folders. Can someone give me an idea as to why a person would want to do this? As an extension of this, why would one want to compact news folders.

Compacting folders
Deleted messages and posts remain on the hard disk - until you compact.

Eventually it just stops working. Compacting removes wasted space, it does not compress the data. Always make up a backup before compacting. But then, you do that at least once a week, don't you. -- Frank Saunders, MS-MVP OE "Anyone who prefers security over freedom deserves neither."

Compacting folders
Thanks for the replies, and the "dig" re. back up!!! It is a good reminder,
that I have to get a better system in place for backups. Mine is haphazard! "Frank Saunders, MS-MVP OE" wrote in message ...
