Thanks for this very useful fix.
Maybe you could help me for another one:
In "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{GUID}\
Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0",
I want to reset the "Compact Check Count" to zero, with just
double-clicking a file.
Unfortunately with a REG file I know how to change a whole key,
not a single value. Maybe by just removing al but the said value
in the key? But for acting in Registry, I prefer asking than
trying.
If you could show me how to build the file for "Compact Check
Count", it would greatly help me (for this example and later
ones).

This one should work, although with the one Ramesh gave it would be more specifically for WinXP:
Save the parts between the lines as compactCount.reg
------------------------------------------------------------------------
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{GUID}\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0]
"Compact Check Count"=dword:00000000
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note that both mine and Ramesh' have a blank line at the end.
Close OE, right click compactCount.reg and choose Merge.
Also note that with the updates for OE that you have the Compact Check Count will be set to zero every time you do a File | Folder | Compact All.
