That's why this is puzzling, and I was hoping to get some direction on this. I've found some answers on google that suggest it's caused by indexing services. The message that this user gets whenever they log in is: "To free up disk space, Outlook Express can compact messages. This may take up to a few minutes." Okay/Cancel -- I have the user cancel. Here's what I have done: • services.msc - disabled indexing service, from the original "manual." • "properties" for C: - unchecked the box for "allow indexing services to..." • Control Panel > Internet Options > Email : verified that is says "OUTLOOK" and not "OUTLOOK EXPRESS" • Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs, but there was no OE to remove • Control Panel > Indexing Options, there were originally several Outlook Express entries
Tech Support Guy, we highly recommend that you visit our Guide for New Members. Solved: "Free Up Disk Space" OE warning ?? Stop the Madness! Discussion in 'Business Applications' started by blongo, Jul 2, 2006. Thread Status: Not open for further replies. Advertisement blongo Thread Starter Joined: Nov 13, 2004 Messages: 5 Big Kudos to anybody who can solve this one! Very little/nothing on Google or microsoft support site. Here's the problem: I'm helping a family member who has a new Dell PC with Windows XP Home, Outlook Express 6. Every time they close Outlook Express, the following Warning pops up: To free up disk space OE can compact messages. This may take a few minutes. There are 2 options - OK and Cancel. Here is the rub: We've closed the warning, or we've clicked OK, or we've clicked cancel, we've checked the box that says don't ask me again....these warnings continue to come up next time (EVERY time) Outlook Express is closed. This is a senior citizen who has, maybe, 20 email messages and no shortage of memory or disk space. I want to prevent this warning from coming up ever again. How do I do it? Is there some default I can change somewhere? blongo, Jul 2, 2006 #1 Sponsor EBSchrader Joined: Jan 28, 2001 Messages: 1,077 In OE, click on Tools/Options/Maintenance. Check out the various settings to see if something will cure the problem. As a suggestion, be sure the waste basket is checked to empty on exiting OE. If it isn't checked, it may be very full! EBSchrader, Jul 2, 2006 #2 EAFiedler Moderator Joined: Apr 25, 2000 Messages: 14,042 Hi blongo With Service Pack 2, Outlook Express is set to ask about Compacting messages after every 100th closing of Outlook Express. Before Service Pack 2, the default behavior had Outlook Express set to compact messages in the background which has lead to the corruption of the message store. Compact the messages manually, reset the Registry value which keeps track how many times Outlook Express has been closed. Why does OE insist on compacting folders when I close it? Close all programs and as a precaution create a Restore Point first. Look for this key in the Registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{GUID}\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0 Double click the Compact Check Count Select the Base option for Decimal and change the value to 0 This should change both the Hexadecimal and decimal values to zero. Close the Registry. Let us know if the message stops occurring. EAFiedler, Jul 2, 2006 #3 blongo Thread Starter Joined: Nov 13, 2004 Messages: 5 EAFiedler, THANK YOU!!! Your registry suggestion did the trick. Everyone is very happy now. You're the best! blongo,
