Would you (or anyone) happen to know if "Agent Ransack" or "FileLocator Pro" has to have the Indexing service or other services enabled to work? Do you have to run regular "HD indexing" with these programs like you do with other 3rd party search software in order for it to find new files? -Clint

Sometimes Outlook Express will ignore such a custom folder even when it's there and all OK. If the "folder" (actually they are just long files, each containing a string of messages) is gone from there, then you may be able to search for it by searching for some string you know it contains. The search function in Windows XP seems faily crippled and probably won't find it, but you may have better luck using something like the freeware "Agent Ransack" which I believe is very good, though I haven't used it myself. If the folder is there, you have the problem of getting it recognised again by Outlook Express. What I have done in the past is as follows:- In Outlook Express, create a new folder (it will obvioulsy be given the default name "New Folder"). Close Outlook Express then navigate to the Outlook Express folder where all the folders (In Box, Out Box etc) are located. You should see your new file there called New Folder. Delete it, and rename your own Custom folder to New Folder. Open Outlook express again and check the contents of New Folder - should be the stuff in your Custom Folder. Within Outlook Express, rename New Folder to whatever you like. Cheers, John Selby. ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
