Hi all, Whenever I close down Outlook, a dialogue box comes up saying "To free up disc space do you want to compact your messages" A "Yes" and "No" option are given. The yes is by default. Now I have found in the past that if I do compact them sometimes I miss a message. So I always press "no". My problem is that I am worried that one day I will press the yes button by an accident without realising. Is there anyway I can stop this dialogue box coming up again. There is no option on the dialogue box to say "Don't show me this again" Also I have got into the habit of deleting any unwanted emails permanently and I don't think I have that many emails hanging around. Anyway I would be grateful for any help to stop this dialogue box appearing. All the best Petrina
