Re[2]: Favorites
The saddest part of this is that it is another example of why most developers do not use the registry to store anything. The only 'problem' i have had since moving to TB has been the use of the registry. I have sent a couple of messages to the 'bug' email box but have not received one reply. They are probably to busy adding a newsviewer to fix/remove the registry concept. I almost went back to Eudora the other day .. but their newest beta gave me reason to stay with TB until I find something better.

As I pointed out earlier, the favorites Jack was asking are not stored in the registry. I'm not sure most developers don't use the registry, either. Most of the programs I use do. The concept of a central registry has its merits, too, IMHO, though I do want TB to make less use of it. I have sent a couple of messages to the 'bug' email box but have not received one reply. They are probably to busy adding a newsviewer to fix/remove the registry concept. Well, it's actually not a "bug". And since it's related to the structural design of TB in general, I happen to think it appropriate to be dealt with in v2. -- Best regards, Ming-Li The Bat! 1.46 Beta/5 | Win2k SP1 -- -- View the TBUDL archive at http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com To send a message to the list moderation team double click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe from TBUDL, double click here and send the message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org

NetscapeTB!folderdefault template
Hello Bats!, I tried to make the subject as short as possible but it wound up being somewhat cryptic. Here's what it means: I just found out that if I'm in Netscape and I click on a mailto, TB! launches automagically just as I want it to, however...the new message screen that appears is the *folder* template from whichever folder I had open last time I closed TB! Not only that, but the Netscape mailto address appears first on the address line with the last-open-folder addressee following it. I expected to see a completely blank message screen. What ridiculously simple setting am I overlooking? Will I have to remember to select my mailbox folder every time I close TB!? I haven't tried that so I don't even know if it works. -- TIA, Jack LaRosa mail to:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Alabama, USA Message created 6:32:48 PM (GMT-6) on Friday, September 08, 2000 = Using The Bat! ver. 1.45 (reg) under Windows 98 ver.4.10 build Service Pack A = -- -- View the TBUDL archive at http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com To send a message to the list moderation team double click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe from TBUDL, double click here and send the message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org

Hello Bats!, Thanks to all who replied regarding this problem. Since it isn't a major annoyance I'll probably just live with it (or without it) and wait for the next TB! upgrade.

I can't remember who sent it but it was someone on this list. I can't remember who the originator was but I am sure he would not mind if I made it available to this list once again. It's just a simple but very effective batch file but there is no mention of the author in it. I had written and posted a batch file several moons ago. Since yours didn't come through, I'm posting the "source code" here. Just cut and paste it into a file called TBbackup.bat and put that file in your TB folder (or where ever you want the backups to be stored.) Also note that this will only backup the current Windows Profile's registry settings. For other profiles, you will need to run this while logged into those profiles. Remember, different profiles mean this utility needs to be run in different folders for each Windows profile. Enjoy.
