I am always asked to Compact
In the last couple of weeks, Outlook Express has a pop-up every couple of
minutes that tells me I can save space if I compact the folders. I have compacted many times...but I keep getting the message. What can I do? -- Thanks Very Much! Art Nittskoff |

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 and even if you are not using OE. There is a growing number of programs and actions that may be causing this after installing SP3. Do you have any of the following?

Thanks for the reply.
I am trying to covert over to Outlook 2007, and I know there is a serch in there...but I can not find a Windows Desktop search. Is this the same as Windows Search? I also do not have a Nero on my computer (At least I do not think I do) other than a backup program I have used every night for years call Nero Backup. If I have these other programs, I am not sure where to find them. Thanks Art -- Thanks Very Much!

Windows Desktop Search is now called Windows Search. Do you have this
option? Control Panel | Indexing Options. Click: Modify and clear the check box for Outlook Express. Nero Backup runs in the background and is a likely candidate. See if disabling it stops the problem. You may have to restart your computer.
