Basket empty automatically whenever I log out. How can I stop this so that I can empty it when I want to?

When I delete the files they go in the trash and will stay there until I log out and switch on the computer.
When I turn it back on and open a session in the basket is still empty.
I can't find any settings to change that.
Can someone advise?

Hi Jack,

Windows Vista does not clear the trash automatically on closing of session/reboots. This must be due to a third-party program (CCleaner / Zone Alarm clear function Cache) you have installed. You may need to consider starting applications and find which of them is the compensation the basket every time.

  • Outlook Express wants to compact my messages whenever it ends. How do I stop this?

    Outlook Express wants to compact my messages whenever it ends.  How do I stop this?

    I advise all to first understand what is happening and then decide how best to treat for your environment:

    If you are talking about a message that says:

    To free up disk space, Outlook Express can compact messages. This can take up to a few minutes.

    Automatic compaction of Outlook Express files was introduced in Service Pack 2.

    If you are using Windows XP, there is a registry value called:

    Compact Check Count

    It is located in the registry for a key that looks like this:

    \Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0 HKCU\Identities\ {51909A0B-63EE-4EB3-A9A2-7CFA23C1ADCF}

    Whenever you leave OE (not when you open it), the value of the counter increases by an increment (increment is not a verb so you can't increment something and a counter cannot be incremented).  When the value of the counter gets to 101, the next time you close OE asked you to compress messages.

    There are two things that will increase the value of the counter.

    Exit from Outlook Express will increase the value of the counter.

    If you have Windows Desktop Search installed, it will increase the counter every time it works which is usually at least at each reboot.

    If you use Outlook Express, and Windows Desktop Search, the counter will be increased more frequently — whenever you close Outlook Express and whenever Windows Desktop Search launches when you restart.

    Even if you are not using Outlook Express and only using Windows Desktop Search, which will further increase the count, so when the counter gets to 100, Windows Desktop Search will prompt you to compress messages during the next reboot.

    This is because Windows Desktop Search is configured by default to search for the Outlook Express database if you are using OE or not.

    No matter how the counter is increased, if you use at least one of these two, eventually you will see this message appear sooner or later.  But you can stop it when you understand.

    You can compress data when prompted (which resets the counter to 0).

    You can change the registry and reset the counter to hand to buy some time until you see the message again.

    If you do not use Outlook Express and only using Windows Desktop Search you can tell Windows Desktop Search to never watch the Outlook Express database (or uninstall the Windows Desktop Search if you do not use).

    To remove the Option of Windows Desktop Search index to the database of Outlook Express follow these steps:

    Click Start, settings, Control Panel, Indexing Options, change, clear the box Outlook Express, OK, OK, to save the settings and reboot the system so that the changes will be effective.

    After the Outlook Express recommended for use (which would include the normal database maintenance) will prevent you from seeing the message in the first place.  If you see the message that you might want to reconsider how you use Outlook Express and the risks of data store corruption of occasional or misuse (risk behaviours).

    Most people using Outlook Express or Windows Desktop Search agree just remove the indexing Option in Windows Desktop Search and keep the meter that is built into Outlook Express so that they will remind to compact the database from time to time.  If you had to sort of do not maintain your Outlook Express files, it would be risky for your messages.

    Hello Buster Funch,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers Forum!

    First of all, you can try to check what version of Internet Explorer is installed on your computer.

    To determine the version of Internet Explorer, click on about Internet Explorer on the Help menu or press Alt + H and then press A.

    If you are repeatedly prompted to download and install the Windows Internet Explorer update, I suggest that you try to check if Internet Explorer is installed correctly. See this article for more information on this:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-should-I-do-if-Internet-Explorer-8-doesn ' t-install properly

    You can try to reset the Internet Explorer security settings by running the Fix - it suggested in the article.

    If nothing works, then try to uninstall Internet Explorer and try to install it once more. Here is an article that will give you steps how to uninstall Internet Explorer 8:

    Since the installation of creative cloud, I noticed a lack of disk space, recently I found CC had been storing GB of log files, how can I stop this nonsense? 40 GB of space on my SSD HARD drive was recovered today by disabling the 8.1 windows temp folder.

WTF Adobe, how can I turn off or limit, as writes to the SSD of constantly to kill them and I do not consider your logs to be important use of space.
