In outlook express, i had a pop up box that asked me about compacting
messages. i put a check in the box that said "do not ask me this
again"....I want to get this box back now, can someone help me? I
don’t want outlook express to automatically compact the messages, but
since i checked that box to not ask me again, it is going to
automatically compact the messages. I just need that box back, and
would appreciate the help....thanks!

Replace the Compact Prompt:

Go to: Start>Run>Regedit>Enter and follow this path:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{GUID}\Software\Microsoft\Outlook
Express\5.0\Don't Show Dialogs.

In the right pane right click on the appropriate entry and choose Delete.


And you might be interested in this free tool.

Steve Cochran has added a button in his new version of OE Tool
that will not only Compact All Folders, but at the same time,
resets the "Compact Check Count" to zero whenever you compact
manually. You will see the prompt again if you do not compact
before 100 closings.

It is still advised to check Work Offline before you compact.
