Re: Update & FYI - the answer to my question

First - thanks to you both.
Mr. Saunders suggestion proved quite correct regarding use of register
cleaners

I recently began using "RegCure" - it passed my initial tests but added
scrutiny found it to be the cause of the erasures of my OE mail/newsgroup
accounts. One more thing ...

I had never lost Mail folders previously - but when I finally discovered
that my use of RegCure had erased my mail account, I then used, for the
first time, the RegCure feature that allows the user to restore the last
register deletions that were made. However, that register restore did
result in the loss of all except my default OE folders.

Fortunately, I have used 'Express Assist' - recommended several years ago
via MS newsgroup contributors, to backup OE folders/messages - & I was able
to restore all lost OE data.

RegCure might still be a good product - but yes, any register cleaner needs
to be used with extreme caution & current, reliable, available harddrive &
data backups.


Glad to hear that.
