IE6 'Store Folder' ...
Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance
Good Evening ...
In my Store Folder I have a number of .dbx and .dbt newsgroups, that I have
subscribed to at one time ... but not all currently; some of those are well
into the million bytes.
I also have a .dbx file for every presently subscribed-to newsgroup, as well
as for every item under my Local Folders. My 'Deleted Items' .dbx file is
437mb.
If these sizes are too big, how do I maintain/monitor the sizes to stay in
good grace with Outlook Express?
I do 'reset' followed by 'compact' at least every other day.
Please advise me how to maintain this 'stuff' in good fashion.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
