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

   where <windir> is the Windows 95 directory.

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

   del *.mg3
   del *.efx

5. Type exit 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.
