Hi, CeramicsubstratesThis issue is found on Win XP machines, You need to edit the registry for this.HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{long number}\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0. In the right hand pane and find *Compact Check Count* >right click>modify>decimal>and set the value to 0, (zero). This will reset the prompt, and you won't see it againAn Alternative to the registry-edit solution is to download the free program OE Tool:http://www.oehelp.co...ol/Default.aspx"OETool is an enhancement of Outlook Express that provides an additional Toolbar on the Views Toolbar (Note that the Views Toolbar has to be enabled via View | Layout and checking the Views Bar checkbox)..... Button 14: Compact All Folders -- This will compact all folders and reset the "Compact Check Count" to zero for WinXP SP2 users."RegardsAtithhttp://social.answers.microsoft.com

Actually, subsequent to my adding those buttons to OETool, MS "fixed" part of the compaction problem, and if the user goes to File | Folder | Compact all then the Compact Check Count gets reset to zero. steve "Atithd" wrote in message news:04ca7de7-9857-4053-8360-8704d0c13e17...Hi, CeramicsubstratesThis issue is found on Win XP machines, You need to edit the registry for this.HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{long number}\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0.
