I have one directory that bothers me too. I've got a NT-junction point mapped directory to a USB drive. It would be nice to ignore that directory. You can bet your britches that it will be a feature in a later version. I spent the majority of 2.0 just re-writing the scanning engine and pulling teeth to make it go faster. The GUI is something that will definitely improve. There are still many things that bother me about the GUI...and what bothers me usually gets fixed. Keep in mind, though, that I'm not really targeting developers for VerifyMyPC. Well I am, but I'm not at the same time. We change way too much stuff on our own computers every day for it to be useful beyond a "yup, I remember doing that" and exiting the program after a two-second glance (with the occasional, "cool, it picked up those changes"). We are also considerably more careful about what gets put on our computers in the first place. On the average user's computer, however, is where it comes in really handy. Everyone I run into who asks me for computer help draws a complete blank if I ask "what did you do?" They don't remember. And I certainly don't know. But, assuming it is installed on their computer, VMPC keeps track of that information for them. If the Notifier bothers you - that is, the balloon tip thing - you can disable that from the Task Scheduler. I plan on making it significantly smarter anyway (the notifier bothers me in its current incarnation). Lots of stuff to do - not enough time to do it all in. -- Thomas Hruska CubicleSoft President Ph: 517-803-4197 *NEW* VerifyMyPC 2.0 Change tracking and management tool.
