SUMMARY
=======

This article describes how to manually remove faxes from the queue in Microsoft
Exchange in Windows 95.

MORE INFORMATION
================

You may want to clear the fax queue by manually removing the temporary files
that compose the faxes in the queue. To do so, follow these steps:

1. Quit and log out of Microsoft Exchange.

2. Open an MS-DOS command prompt session.

3. Type the following command to move to the fax queue directory

  " cd\<windir>\spool\fax " (without the quotation marks)

  where <windir> is the Windows 95 directory.

4. Type the following commands to remove the temporary spool files:

  " del *.mg3
  del *.efx " (without the quotation marks)

5. Type "exit" (without the quotation marks) to close the MS-DOS command prompt
  session.

6. Restart Microsoft Exchange.

NOTE: A fax sitting in the outbox will start the faxing process and put the fax
or faxes back into the queue.
