I think my Delete Folder is corrupted
Every time I try to delete something or empty the Delete Folder, or
even close out of OE, the program bombs. Suggestions? -- Dena Jo Email goes to denajo2 at the dot com variation of the Yahoo domain. Plonk the *******s: http://www.panix.com/~mwsm/trolls.html |
I think my Delete Folder is corrupted
Hi Dena Jo,
The Deleted Items.dbx file in the OE message store can be deleted (with OE closed). This default folder will be recreated when OE starts. A search for Deleted Items.dbx can be done. It may be necessary to first include hidden files in a folder view and include hidden files and folders in the search. Open the Store Folder Alternative 1.. In Outlook Express click on Tools, Options, Maintenance tab...Store Folder. 2.. Place the cursor at the left of the text of the path to the folder. 3.. Drag the cursor to the right until the text scrolls to the end. 4.. Right-click on the text and choose Copy. 5.. In the Start, Run box right-click Paste. Click OK to open the store folder. Using Keyboard Shortcuts for the Open the Store Folder Alternative Courtesy of: Jim Pickering, MVP-Outlook Express An even easier method when opening that page is to use the Tab to highlight the folder location, then Ctrl+C and close OE, then use Start/Run and Ctrl+V. Same caveat about hidden files applies but can be easily modified in Explorer by using Tools/Folder Options. -- Jim Pickering, MVP-Outlook Express -- Tim K. aka Kuay Tim MS-MVP - Outlook Express Lynnwood, WA * "Dena Jo" wrote in message ...

That worked like a charm. -- Dena Jo Email goes to denajo2 at the dot com variation of the Yahoo domain. Plonk the *******s: http://www.panix.com/~mwsm/trolls.html |
