With Windows XP I hold down Ctl and scroll the mouse wheel forward and back to change the font size on the page.

One of the recent Windows updates seems to have revised the manner in which Outlook Express performs the 'File/Folders/Compact All Folders' process - which OE periodically 'suggests' that you do. The process now displays Copying of folders and creates BAK files in the Recycle bin.

To close any such 'barrage' of screens which might occur on your computer, don't use the mouse, use the Alt-F4 button (i.e. hold down the 'Alt' key and press the 'F4' button).
