  Windows XP. IE8, OE6

  The file in the usage message, it is clear that you did not follow my instructions.

• out look Express 6

  I just changed my identity in outlook express 6 and my Inbox, outbook, and sent folders have been deleted... can I get it back

  Why do you say that they have been deleted? Have you tried to return to your former identity. It is possible to have any number of identities in Outlook Express and switch between identities. It is an option, if you expand files, identities.

  You must locate the store folder in Windows Explorer on your old identity. You know the location you can select the file, import, and then navigate to the location and import all the files to your new identity.

  Have you tried searching for these subfolders using Windows Explorer?

  Using Windows XP, you must enable Show hidden files. Start, Control Panel, Folder Options, view and advanced settings. Then, enter the Windows Explorer. Using tools, search, files and folders research workstation.

  You can also search using "* .db"without the quotes as search criteria. ". This will produce a list of all Outlook Express folders on your computer. Note that the asterisks are maps 'savages '.

• Outlook Express can compact messages. How can I disable this error?

  OUTLOOK Express on Windows XP very annoying, it's almost each and every time I click on anything whether to open or close any program, etc...

  An error message is displayed: OUTLOOK Express: to free up disk space, Outlook Express can compact messages.

  This can take up to a few minutes.      OK or CANCEL

  It's on my computer for several years now and bugs the heck out of me.  How can I remove it so he won't?

  ALSO: All programs when opening are reduced to the minimum (small format) forces me to click on the big box next to the RED X at the top right?

  Why this is happening and how to remove this problem.  I do NOT need to expand all my programs constantly from the start?

  Thanks for your help Mike G.   * E-mail address is removed from the privacy *

  I do not use OE so I really should stay out of it, but I have it in my notes that can get you started and then other people may also help:

  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.

  So if you have Desktop Search installed, which will increase the counter of an increment, each time that you start and if you open and close OE ten times a day, your meter will be at eleven after only a day.  Repeat this for 9 days and you will see this message.

  Even if you are not using Outlook Express and only using Windows Desktop Search, which will still increase the meter, so when the meter reaches 100, Windows Desktop Search will prompt you to compress messages at the next reboot even if you use not OE.

  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.

  Did you know that the "increase" is not a verb?  If you cannot 'increment' (or decrement) a counter.  You can increase or decrease an increment, however.

  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.

  Windows Desktop Search is a memory and CPU of pigs anyway, so you better system performance if you just uninstall it.

  Here is an article with some other information:

  http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2

• Outlook Express 6.0: message Constant (every 10-15 seconds) - Outlook Express can compact messages.

  In the last 4-6 months, I get the message: "to free up disk space, Outlook Express can compact messages. This can take up to a few minutes. OK / Cancel. "This happens when my computer starts (after welcome screen) up to and including when that I disconnect during the night. AND it happens every 10-15 seconds and up to a few hours. then it stops for several hours and then again every 10-15 seconds. To say that it is boring, frustrating and a pain in the * would be a major understatement.
  I never click OK; always Cancel. I have NO idea why this is happening.

  Around the same time that it started, so-called indexing (?) stood. He appears on the Desktop Board. I never asked for it, have no idea what it is, etc. Have no idea if the two are connected.                   Questions:1) how "Compact messages" go away forever? Where they come from? Why are the projection on my computer.        Note: I am the one and only user on this computer!
  (2) what is indexing? Why I need or want? Why it appear? He needs to go ASAP!

  Finally, the technical stuff: OS - XP Pro SP3. Antivirus: Webroot 2011-2012. To update all patches from Microsoft. Browser: Firefox.
  Nobody knows what is happening and how to make it go away.

  Thank you very much!!!                                    P.S. in the time it took me write this (about 5-7 minutes), the "Compact messages) showed up to 10 times! You see why I'm ready to tear my hair out?

  Assuming that you use either OE, and or, you leave compact once, indexing is perhaps the reason. Windows Search is installed?

  You must tell Windows Search to stop indexing OE.

  Windows Search. Set Desktop Search Options
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Australia/windows/desktopsearch/search/options.mspx

  In the control panel. Indexing Options. Change. Clear the check box for Outlook Express.

  You may leave compact once to reset the counter, but which should end with the prompt up to 100 closures of OE. If you do not OE, you let compact occasionally.

  Compacting your folders periodically is a must to keep OE works fine and at some point, you may lose all your saved messages if you do not. When you delete or move messages, the space they used remains until you compact.

  Never touch anything until the compression is finished.* *.

  See:
  www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2

  With SP2, Automatic compaction in the background has been removed because of problems he has caused. Now, you will get a prompt to compact after 100 closures of OE, you need to do, and do not touch anything until it's finished. If you compact manually, at your convenience, this will also set the counter to zero. See this for more information:
  http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm#compact

  If you are fully patched, you will now see a copy of your dbx files copied to the Recycle Bin as BAK files. If something goes wrong when compacting, the messages can be easily restored from this backup. A compact manual resets also the counter in the back of the registry to zero now.

  For more information, see the information framed in red here:
  www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2

  To keep things running smooth and harden faster:

  Do not archive mail in default OE folders. It will eventually become corrupt and you may lose mail. Create your own folders defined by the user for mail storage and move your mail to them. Empty the deleted items folder regularly. Keep user created folders under 300 MB, and also empty as is possible to default folders.

  And backup often.

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

  Every few minutes the message:

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

  It is irrelevant for two reasons:

  (1) I do not use Outlook Express and have therefore no messages to be compacted.

  (2) I have not free disk space as I am currently using only five percent of the very large disks.

  Is could someone please tell me how I get rid of this very irritating message.

  Try to reset the compact County in the registry:

  1. Start the registry editor.
  2. Open this key:

     \Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\ {identity}

     where the identity is a string of letters, numbers, and dashes.

  3. The value of Compact Check Count to 0.
  4. Close the registry editor.

  For more information, see why you should let Outlook Express Compact Messages when it asks you .

  WARNING: Incorrectly editing the registry can damage your system and prevent Windows to start. Before you do, back up your important data, make a restore point and make sure that you know how to repair a damaged system. Boulder computer Maven

• Remove a pop-up for compacting messages in Outlook Express 6.

  I was doing a pop-up asking me if I want to compact messages in Outlook Express in order to free disk space. It's very boring and very frequent. I don't know how to do it go away. I am able to get rid of him, and if so, how?

  As mentioned above, it will be in the control panel.
   
  In the case of Windows Search, you must be told to stop indexing OE.
   
  Windows Search. Set Desktop Search Options:
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Australia/windows/desktopsearch/search/options.mspx
   
  In the control panel. Indexing Options. Change. Clear the check box for Outlook Express.
   
  If you see the prompt again, you may leave compact once to clear the meter in the registry. It won't cause any harm.
   
  *********************
   
  But, also, you said that you have modified the registry to 0. Have you ever he let compact once?
