Thanks for explanation! Here is the first post from the discussion I replied
to on the web. In case it illuminates my last post. And this I write from OE
now :).


Need to disable offer from Outlook Express "to free up disk space, outlook
express can compact messages"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Every time I close Outlook Express, I get the following message: "to free up
disk space, outlook express can compact messages."

I have read about this and I understand it does not diminish the integrity
of my messages.

However, the problem I have is that I cannot stand it when programs like
this keep bugging me relentlessly until I do what they want me to do. I
want to have the choice to say yes or no. This program does not give me
that choice because it keeps bugging me until it gets its way.

I would greatly appreciate it if someone could tell me how to stop these
annoying pop-ups.



Thank You very much



Keven
