You can't actually remove OE from XP. It's part of the operating system.
If you try deleting some if it's DLL, Windows will restore them
automatically.
Starting with XP SP2, you get the prompt to compact after 100 closings
of OE and every one thereafter until you compact. SP3 changes the way
the compact count gets incremented. With SP2, only closing the main
program caused the count to get incremented. But with SP3, if the main
OE program is closed, every time a DBX, EML or NWS file is accessed by
an OE component, the count gets incremented. This includes double
clicking an EML file or sending an e-mail from another program (if OE is
the default for either) or a number of indexing programs such as Windows
Desktop Search or Nero Scout.
In the latter case, telling the indexing programs to stop indexing DBX,
EML and
NWS files will stop the problem.
Nero Scout program (NMIndexStoreSvr)
If you don't have the documentation, you can get it here:
ftp://ftp6.nero.com/user_guides/nero...oScout_Enu.pdf
There is an option to exclude selected file types from Indexing. Be
sure to add
..DBX;.EML;.NWS;
to the list so that it doesn't try indexing OE files.
Windows Desktop Search
Control Panel, INDEXING OPTIONS, click MODIFY and clear the check box
for Outlook Express
In the case of sending e-mail via OE from another program or double
clicking EML files to open in OE, having the main OE program open will
stop the count from being incremented.
If you are using the Windows Live Mail program for mail instead of
Outlook Express, make sure that it is the default for EML and NWS files.
You can verify this by double clicking a file to see that it opens in
WLM rather than OE. If you need an EML file to test, in WLM select a
message, then File, Save As to EML file.
In the case of other programs, you need to track down what is accessing
the OE files. This could include your anti-virus scanning e-mail or an
anti-spam program.
