Original Title: Outlet Express email file consolidation.I have recently been seeing a popup box saying "Outlet Express would like to consolidate your emails to make the computer run faster" upon startup or something close. I have never used Outlet express and do not need this help. How can I prevent this popup ?

Hi chuck,I would suggest you to uncheck ‘Outlook Express’ file from startup items in System Configuration Utility & check if the issue persists.To do this, follow these steps.a. Click Start, type ‘msconfig.exe’ in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER to start the System Configuration Utility.b. Click the Startup tab, and then uncheck ‘Outlook Express’ file entry in the Startup Item list.c. Click OK, and then click Restart.For more information, refer this link: How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" stateHope the information helps.
