I don't use the archive option (turn it off by checking the box) but use the
Personal Folders Backup instead.

After searching google.groups.com and finding no answer, Chad Harris asked:
| Nearly every time I close Outlook 2003, I get an annoying dialogue box
| "Would you like to AutoArchive your old items now?" It explains that
| AutoArchive moves items you haven't used in a long time to the
| archive file C:\Documents and
| Settings\ChadHarris\LocalSettings\Application
| Data\Microsoft\Outlook\archive.pst to improve performance and to
| prevent your mailbox from growing too large and creates an
| AutoArchived Item in the folders list. I got it five seconds after I
| loaded Outlook, and before I had even configured Outlook for any mail
| accounts, so the definition of a long time is a little relative to
| Microsoft. A long time meant the second Outlook was installed and
| opened.
|
| Presumably you can hit the checkbox "Don't Prompt me again" but how
| do the Outlook mavens handle this? Do you autoarchive every once in
| a while to avoid the pending performance hit and just get rid of the
| box and does everyone see this box at first by default behavior? I
| didn't notice this box in Outlook XP although I'm sure the principle
| applied to all versions of Outlook from the first.
