It gets the spool dir from the registry.
Describe what you mean by "doesn't work". Are you getting an error?
The -num switch defaults to 2000. If you have less than 2000 messages in
your spool, reduce that number. It can go as low as 0. That switch is in
place so that if the prog is scheduled to run, it will not waste time
scannning if there is no spool problems.
