[LINK] Microsoft's Really Hidden Files

[Mark Hughes]

I keep about 3 - 4 months worth of emails in Outlook.  My Outlook file is
about 250mb (yeah, there's maybe 20,000 emails there).

If MS Outlook really kept all my emails plus attachments instead of trashing
them, as this site claims, my harddisk would be full, wouldn't it - I mean,
where on my PC is this stuff being stored?  Unless someone's suggesting Bill
G has come up with some new super compression algorithm that can compress
all those emails and every web site i've ever visited onto something the
size of a floppy disk?

Regards, Mark
