appears "to free up disk space, outlook express can compact your mail this may take a few minutes." Prompt causes and three solutions
phenomenon: When using outlook mail There is always a problem. Every time you turn off Outlook Express, you will be prompted: "To free up disk space, Outlook Express can compress the mail. This may take a few minutes", and then you will be asked to confirm or cancel, if you click OK. The compression process is slower (it will be slower if the number of mails is too large), there will be a machine suspended animation, it must be slowly compressed, otherwise it will be prompted next time; if you have no patience and illegal shutdown or power outage or crash It may cause some mail to be lost (even all lost, Outlook Express mail is lost after compression, your mail is very likely to be unable to find it, even if you call Microsoft's technical support center is difficult to get help). Click Cancel to close normally!
Cause Analysis: Outlook Express prompts to compress the mail because it has started Outlook Express 100 times. Every time you close, Outlook Express will record the number of times. If it exceeds 100, you will be prompted to compress the mail. The registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Identities\\{89D7FFA2-60F8-4785-A7BE-1ACB0E2AE46D}\\Software\\Microsoft\\Outlook Express\\5.0\\Compact Check Count records this number. After changing to a decimal value of 1, it will be ok.
Solution 1: Open the registry and find [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Identities\\{89D7FFA2-60F8-4785-A7BE-1ACB0E2AE46D}\\Software\\Microsoft\\Outlook Express\\5.0] to find the Compact Check Count Item, change the value to 1, the problem can be solved!
Note: {89D7FFA2-60F8-4785-A7BE-1ACB0E2AE46D} This item is different for each computer, if you have more in Outlook Express The "identity", this item will also have a corresponding number, one by one can be modified.
Solution 2: GUID-- is {89D7FFA2-60F8-4785-A7BE-1ACB0E2AE46D}. The GUID of each user in the general system will be different, so be careful, you can find the copy in the registry.
Paste the following string into Notepad and save it as oefix.reg. Remember to change the GUID first.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Identities\\{89D7FFA2-60F8-4785 -A7BE-1ACB0E2AE46D}\\Software\\Microsoft\\Outlook Express\\5.0]
"Compact Check Count"=dword:00000001
Put oefix.reg in c:\\windows, then click on the bottom left corner - Program - Start the right mouse button and open it with the Explorer. Create a new Notepad in the startup and enter the following command: (Save the following string as oe.bat, then delete Notepad)
@ ECHO OFF< BR>regedit /s %windows%oefix.reg
This will clear the "Compact Check Count" value to 0 each time you log in to the computer, so there will be no 100 occurrences, so no Will prompt.
