Any suggestions from Vista-Users that I should follow when installing TB on that virgin system? I say that the most important thing is to make sure that your e-mails and all other files that The Bat! needs to update are stored in your Users folder and not in the Program Files folder.

I realize that it might be accepting defeat, but consider how often you double click on a .EML file in Windows Explorer. If you never actually do (I never do), you might just go to [Options | Preferences... | Applications] in TB and uncheck .EML.

two Bats running?
Hello, The Bat appears to be running OK, but when I open the Task Manager I see two BAT icons running. If I End Task both icons disappear. I did check, that by any chance I am running 2 Bats, but could not locate it. I wonder if anyone run into that, and how did it correct.
