Delete Outlook Express
OE is part of IE:
To reinstall IE6 and OE: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=318378 Method 2 says it's for XP, but it works for all Window operating systems except W95. -- If you want delete any default OE files and have new, clean ones: ToolsOptionsMaintenanceStore folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. You can copy the location and paste it into StartRun and click OK to open the folder, or navigate to it in Windows Explorer. In WindowsXP, the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Explorer, you must enable Show Hidden Files and Folders under StartControl PanelFolder OptionsView. With OE closed, follow the path to the DBX file for the folder in question {.dbx} and delete it. A new one will be created automatically when you open OE. Do not archive mail on default OE folders. They will eventually become corrupted. Create your own user defined folders for storing mail. After you are done, follow up by compacting your folders manually while working *offline* and do it often. FileWork Offline (or double click Working Online in the Status Bar). FileFolderCompact all folders. In ToolsOptionsMaintenance: Uncheck Compact messages in background and leave it unchecked. -- Bruce Hagen ~IB-CA~ Hound wrote in message ... Unable to delete OE.
