BAK files from ???

Guest

For some reason, unknown to me, I started getting .BAK files, daily, in the
Recycle Bin, for every file in My Documents. I haven't changed anything that
I know of. All I do is the Updates as they come down. Any Help would be
greatly appreciated.

Do you use OutLook Express? It routinely "compresses"( remove blank
spaces) its "internal" files.

I do, and you may have something there. I'll take a close look at it and
hopefully there's a way to turn it off. If not, at least I know what it is.

Thanks!

What are the ".BAK" files ".BAKs" of?

I have yet to see the method of turning this "compress" off. It is
important not to "stop" it when it occurs since you will loose emails
(personal experience!!!)
