Compressing folders
Um, how do I tell OE NOT to keep asking me if I want to compress folders?
It's happening at least once a day now. Thx. -- Bill |
Compressing folders
If you have compacted and still get the prompts, read on.
The problem is with the registry counter that gives you the prompt after 100 closings of OE. It is being increased quicker than it should be. There is a growing number of programs and actions that may be causing this after installing SP3. Do you have any of the following? IBM Rapid Access keyboard (driver) RAKDLL.DLL Windows Desktop Search Window Live Mail (even if it was removed) Mailwasher Nero plug-in(s) Opening EML files while OE is closed will also contribute to the registry count. Various anti-virus, anti-spyware and third party firewalls, especially if they were running when you installed SP3. Recent archived thread discussing this issue: http://groups.google.com/group/micro...d35fbfa457fd6f You could also download RegMon: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/s.../bb896652.aspx. Run the program and monitor the Compact Count Check registry value by filtering on: Compact Count Check. This should identify the program that is causing the rapid increase in the Compact Check Count registry value. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express Imperial Beach, CA "Bill H." wrote in message ...

That's nice to know, but how do I stop the compacting?
Yes, I have some of that, like Norton and Windows Defender, and desktop search. Is there a way to increase when this counter hits the "compact" threashold?

If Windows Desktop Search is the culprit, you need to tell it to stop
indexing. Control Panel | INDEXING OPTIONS. Click: MODIFY and clear the check box for Outlook Express. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express Imperial Beach, CA "Bill H." wrote in message ...

Dl'ed regmon, and set it to filter "Compact Count Check."
Running all night and opening and closing OE a couple of times, nothing appears in the monitor window. When OE opens, it checks for email, and I check about 30 email addresses. :-) Why would there be no Compact Count Checks recorded? Thx. --Bill "Bruce Hagen" wrote in message ...
