If the DEFAULT location for The Bat!'s files became
CSIDL_APPDATA\Rit Labs\The Bat!\ or some variant thereof, these
problems would be solved. Axillary files, like BayseIt files and
the custom dictionary would need to be moved there also.
For those of us who want to have control over where our data files
are stored, those options would still remain.
Is this procedure correct?
1. Spelling. Keep each email account's home directory in a user
controlled folder structure.
TheBat! + Account + Files directories
Home Directory {Browse]
etc.
Yes. Currently, those changes require modifying the registry.
However, I think that the custom dictionary should be stored in the
user's mail directory, not in The Bat!'s program directory. Each
user has his or hew own custom dictionary. I may want
antidifferentiation to be considered correct, while another user may
not.
(If not, how do you redirect TheBat! to the TheBats applications
data?)
The default should be that the user's mail goes into
CSIDL_APPDATA\Rit Labs\The Bat!\. Normally this would be
C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Application Data\Rit Labs\The
Bat!, but a network administrator could change it to
\\server.company.com\Roaming Data\%USERNAME%\Application Data\Rit
Labs\The Bat!.
I am my system's administrator. I've used Regedit before.

Why does The Bat! insist on putting data files in its own directory?
In theory, normal users should not be able to modify the contents of
The Bat!'s directory. Therefore, The Bat! should store its data files
in the user's home directory (%userprofile%\Application Data\The Bat!
[There is a better way to get the path of the Application Data
directory {it can be redirected}, using the API SHGetFolderPath()

Actually, only too technical for us hardware old time engineers and,
more practical non-cyber techies. |grin|

I think that the BayseIt program files should be installed once, for
all users. For example, in C:\Program Files\The
Bat!\Plugins\BayseIt. Each user would then have his or her own
BayseIt data files stored else where, for example
CSIDL_APPDATA\BayseIt. Then, each user would have a personally
trained BayseIt. For example, one user may consider Amazon.com
promotional e-mail messages junk, while another may not. Currently,
both users compete when it comes to BayseIt.
Generally, NO user data should be stored in The Bat!'s directory. Any
personal user data needs to be in personal folders, defaulting to the
aforementioned location. Any data shared between users, such as a
computer-wide custom dictionary (containing a company's product names,
for example) should be stored in the All Users directory.

Changing the way The Bat! stores file would solve the problems
mentioned in the thread Setting up TB! for multiple users?
mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]. Global address books and
other shared files could be stored in the All Users directory.
Network settings would need to be stored in The Bat!'s directory so
that they could only be changed by users with permissions (normally
only administrators).
Also, these changes will help users of Windows 2000 and Windows XP and
will NOT break The Bat! on older operating systems. There are user
profiles and an All Users directory on both Windows 98 and Me (and
perhaps even 95).
The All Users Application Data directory is CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA.
What do you guys think?
