Before you can enable the Housekeeping agent, you must first enable scheduled local agents in Notes user preferences. (From the menu, choose File - Preferences - User Preferences and click Enable scheduled local agents under Startup options on the Basics panel.) Once you have done that, follow these steps to enable the Housekeeping agent.

1. Open any Web page in Notes.

2. From the menu, choose Actions - Internet Options.

3. Click the Size options tab.

4. From the drop-down list, choose one of the following options:

• Reduce full pages to links if not read within -- Notes deletes the contents of the page, but saves a link to it.
• Remove pages from database if not read in -- Notes deletes the entire page.

6. (Optional) If you want Notes to warn you when the database exceeds a certain size, check "Warn me when the database exceeds" and specify a size in megabytes.

7. Click "Enable Housekeeping."

8. Click Save and Close.

To disable the Housekeeping agent, repeat steps 1 -- 3 and 7 -- 8, clicking "Disable Housekeeping" in Step 7.

Tip To manually reduce the size of the Personal Web Navigator, open the database, choose View - Other - File Archive, then delete files from the list.
