I ended up changing the permissions in the registry so that applications were able to read, but not write, to that particular key. The only (relatively minor) problem with that is I have to reverse the process each time MS issues an Outlook patch and then reinstate the changes afterwards. -- Robin Using The Bat! v3.99.3 Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2 Popfile v0.22.4 Current version is 3.99.24 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

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".

If you happen to have MS Outlook installed you may find that you will have ongoing problems. Despite continually associating eml files with The Bat! Outlook continually grabs it back and there doesn't seem to be any way to stop it. Its like Microsoft can't accept that anyone would actually really want to use another e-mail program ;-) I just keep clicking to associate The Bat! every second or third start.

Well, first look at what it is associated with before The Bat! opens. In the Windows Explorer menu: Tools | Folder Options choose the File Types tab then scroll down to see what is associated with the .EML extension. If possible go to that program's preferences and disable its association for .EML.
