Ghost Messages in Outlook

Background:
I run Outlook 2007 on Windows Vista. I have two accounts in Outlook.

Problem:
From sometime, I noticed that Outlook was trying to send a message through one of the accounts. The only problem was there were no messages in the Outbox. It kept trying to send these messages. It would try, not succeed, return an error messages saying "Check the address of recipients".

Solution:
I did some search and found this useful link.

Explanation:
The problem is usually because of a read receipt stuck in gallows of your Outlook mail folder. It will not display in the Outlook interface. But as soon as you install the program from Windows that is available on the site, you can fix it in a matter of seconds. It will delete the rebel file and all other files can pass through the account easily.

Get more space on Vista

I've got a 100GB hard disk that runs Windows Vista on my laptop. I'm using about 5 GB so far. Vista tells me that I have 80GB left.

Do the math. 15GB of precious hard disk space had vanished into thin air. I was concerned. Was I victim of a virus? Was there a file/program that was hogging space as a hidden file?

I ran a virus check. Clean as a whistle. Then I had to figure a way to show hidden files. In Vista, they take simple things and complicate it ten times over and say 'New and Improved'. Tip: To view the old menu-bar to unhide files. Press and hold the Alt key when viewing the folder. Magically, you'll see it appear it again.

Well, I was stumped. How was this possible. Searching Google for answers proved difficult. It was tough to define my query. Finally I found what I was looking for. I first came across this site which said that you could reset your Restore point space to 1GB. By the way, the space was going because Vista allocated 15% of space to System Restore Points. But don't try this site's solution.

Go to this site and you will realise that the previous site was hastily written. The site says that you can clear all but the most recent restore point files. I did that and Bob's your uncle! I have 94GB hard disk space.

Happy! Joy!
