I regret this collective, strong, consistent, deliberate and
determined, effort at disparaging anything I submit - most
probably with racialo-political goal, to overshadow my
propositions and prevent any normal and polite discussion about
them.

« This is usenet, not a forum »

Playing words in order to overshadow my pointing Ramesh's
arrogance.

« you are way off base in your conclusions Michel »

Curious that some hords can throw insults and accusations
without any reason or proof or quote, yet without being accused
of being biased and negative. Which tends to think they are
driven by racialo-politic orders and agenda. What's funny is
their swapping roles, targetting *me*, without laughing, with
the accusation of "accusing people with no substance" :-)

« Stop changing the Subject line »

I don't know if I must believe the (repetitive) author of this
stupidity would be really thinking what he says. If ever it was
the case (I doubt - it's more probably another posturing as dumb
to better attempt at me for political reasons), then please
think for a second of what are the Subject of a Forum or Thread,
the Title of a message, and what are the use of *Message-ID* and
*References* in message headers, of "OE > View > Current View >
Group Messages by Conversation", and of Button 4 in OETools

This is usenet, not a forum. But more importantly you are way
off base in your conclusions Michel. Only you can say why
you've suddenly got this burr up your behind, but accusing
people with no substance behind it is wrong. Multiple posters
tried to help you here; you did your best to insult and alienate
them.

Stop changing the Subject line.

It is becoming impossible to figure out what you're talking
about.

This is a forum, not a classroom; the help flow is 2-way,
not oneway.

Those who feel never *receiving* help, most often are *giving*
less than others. Please read the thread, so to not conclude
the wrong way.

Posting a question, asking for help, and then suddenly making a
wrong accusation about someone who is trying to help. This

I keep in my records that you are allowing anyone to take a file
from you and, if he finds a character that he can harmlessly
change (for instance adding a blank line), even if not
apparently useful ("I don't know why we put a blank line at the
end"), then he can omit to cite you, and present himself as the
only author instead.

This surprised me about you.

No they aren't. His has a blank line at the end and yours
doesn't.

I don't know why we put a blank line at the end. Just that
everybody does.

BTW, here's a cute little Reg file I produced last century.
-------------------------------------------------------------
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\regfile\shell]
@="edit"

----------------------------------------------------------------
It changes the default action for double clicking a REG file to
edit instead of merge. Since it starts with REGEDIT4 it will
work on all Windows versions. (Those starting with "Windows
Registry Editor Version 5.00" won't work in Win9x.)

MS "volunteers" seem to be in a bad case of NIHS

2)
« Note that both mine and Ramesh' have a blank line at the end.

Thanks for these 2 infos, very useful to me:

- I hadn't noticed the blank line at end;
- learning that there is a choice for "Merge" makes me
more comfortable executing that file of mine (even if
some risk remain anyway given experience...).

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.

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).

Subject: XP And My Mouse

Group,
I have XP Home and my mouse act a bit funny. When I
double-click a folder, instead of opening the folder, I get the
Serarch Results box which is what I would use if I wanted to
fine a file or folder. But if I right-click and select Open,
the folder opens. What do I do to correct this. I went to the
Logitech driver and could not find a reasonable setting that
makes this happen. Your thoughts on fixing this problem.

Tony
