OE expanded folders
Hi folks
OE has suddenly started opening up all my folders eg I click on the "Current" folder where I hold all my case folders, and all the individual subfolders open. It didn't do it before. Has an update caused this? How can I regain control of it? Bye for now

In your folder tree, you have a user created folder with a few user created subfolders under it. Does this group of folders expand when you open OE, or only when you click on the main user created folder, or when mail is checked, (Send & Receive)? OK so far? -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express Imperial Beach, CA

I'll try doing that then reloading to a different Identity. More Sunday ... til then I have another life to lead ... see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SowJNSPXIuM ... that's me with the accordeon.

OE expanded folders
I found this by mistake. I had one group of folders that would be expanded
every time I opened OE, even though they were collapsed when I closed it. I deleted Folders.dbx for an entirely different reason, but noticed that I no longer had the problem. You may want to try a different identity, or delete Folders.dbx yourself. Whichever you feel easier doing. Note the consequences of deleting Folders.dbx. Not earth shattering, but requiring a little time getting back in order. Consequences of deleting Folders.dbx: http://www.insideoe.com/files/store.htm#deldbx Make sure OE is closed when you delete it. This is the location of Folders.dbx. Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store Folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Write down the location down and navigate to it in Windows Explorer. In WinXP, Win2K & Win2K3, the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show Hidden Files and Folders under Start | Control Panel | Folder Options Icon | View, or in Windows Explorer | Tools | Folder Options | View. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express Imperial Beach, CA wrote in message ...

PROBLEM:
The folders that were collapsed when I closed OE were expanded when I open OE again. This problem had driven me mad for months. I wanted ALL my folders and sub-folders to be collapsed when I first opened OE. I've found something that's worked for me and I'm so happy I had to tell someone even if they've fixed it now. So what I did was: 1. Open up all folders, their sub-folders and their sub-sub-folders etc. 2. I then collapsed the deepest layer of sub-folders, closed and opened OE. 3. Then I collapsed the next layer of sub-folders, close and opened OE again. 4. Last I collapsed my main folders and closed OE. 5. When I opened up OE all folders and their sub-folders were collapsed and behaving just as they should. Seems that for some strange reason the memory (.dbx or whatever) can't remember more than one layer deep. Ho Ho Ho
