Well...I don't know about harddisk physics...and I just recently installed Speeddisk and haven't used it. But, I wonder, Peter, if you compacted your pst regularly, if it would still be so fragmented? Right click Outlook Today and choose Properties, then click on the advanced button and compact it...I warn you tho, if you haven't done it for a while, it could take some time...but it's definitely worth doing...keeps the size down.

Since outlook.pst is number one by a mile, I'm wondering if the best solution would be to designate it as "files last" or as "files at end". Anyone good at harddisk physics? ............Peter ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?Subject=unsubscribe Or, visit the group's homepage and use the dropdown menu.
