Dear Mike~~

Very useful reply.

There's no other program using MSIMN.exe-- it's me.
I must open/close the program 10 times a day -- closing it
while I run other amateur radio-based programs on the laptop
with its 12 USB ports running all manner of TCP/ip programs..

So.. every 10 days this annoying 'reminder' comes up.

So-- here's the question.
Exactly what keyboard commands do I give to reset the counter?
I'm not a registry edit expert.
Is there a command to eliminate the counter?!

*****
On a longer term issue, Microsoft should consider reversing this
SP2 'addition' for its users.

Best regards,
Bill Barron

Alt-F,F,F once a week would do it.
For most reliable results do it with no other OE windows open,
while the main application window is open at the root,
and in a Working Offline state.

Dear Robert~~

Thanks.

I tried the command .. which promptly dumped 69MB of
junk into the Recycle bin.. almost shutting down the pC...
as it tried to perform the task on both my c and slave-e
hard drives.

Is there a way to just turn OFF this notification and
NOT compact everything?

Bill Barron

PS-- It's not a TEMP/Cookie issue.. it's the size of saved
msgs and the annoying 'compact' pop-up and the action it takes..

Good. So you're set for another week then.

Michael showed you a way to zap the registry.

Not really if you want OE to keep working.

Under ordinary circumstances, it is the user.

But since XP SP3, we've been seeing some issues where various other
programs are triggering the problem.

Just curious but what other programs would open and close OE and why?
