Well, I was just tickled pink reading these replies.
I saved my deleted.dbx files to another directory.
I closed OE, opened windows explorer, and deleted the deleted.dbx files.
Then I opened OE again, and when I clicked on deleted, it went effortlessly to
the
folder and opened up. Wow, so easy I said.
Ok, then I transferred the data <just for practice> back into deleted.dbx from
the
directory I saved it in.
Opened OE, clicked on deleted.....
and the hour glass hung and hung and I had to do the ctrl/alt/del to have it
tell me
that it is not responding again.
GRRRRrrrrrr.
You say, ok, empty your deleted files and be done with it. Well, I DO and I
HAVE
BEEN and I WILL. But sometimes someone says, hey, I need this or that and I
just
deleted the file, and I need to access that file. It's nice to be able to get
it if
it's not 'gone forever'.. if ya know what I mean.
So, what now?
Suggestions all you great minds out there???? grin
Signed,
A not so great mind out there,

Hello Re-Na,
I just copy the whole file onto my backup and then let
Windows make another one for me.
Great way to do that Tonia!
