Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

is PDF, doc and xls in the level1remove remove? that will force them to be
saved - remove them from the key as they are not blocked by default.

MDB is a blocked type and must be saved before opening - there is no way
around it. BTW - due to the high compressibility of mdb, it's recommended
they be zipped - it will reduce the file size as much as 75%.
