Agent ransack didn't find them - MS Search finally found them. It was an
involved journey. I wish they would auto-compress so I don't have to do
them by hand. I also wish they would GO when I delete old
News-Servers........ nothing ever seems to leave that OE folder once
downloaded from Usenet.

Compressing files and /compacting/ OE data are not the same.

With WinXP SP2 installed, OE will automatically compact all folders every
100 times you close OE.

Yes, it asks, then starts, I wait - it locks up! Or it will say something
about a file being used - then stop compacting. I end up doing them all
manually. It was such a mess I deleted the whole enchilada last night and
redownloaded all the NS's NGs again. I use several free newsservers. It's
a fresh start. :-) It took awhile but now it'll compact them all without
locking up. I'll have to remember to do them more often.........
