I had assumed (bad thing to do) that this was the equivalent of Start TB at log on which seemed a reasonable enough thing to do. At 11:02 PM on 1/7/2004, Wayne Howard typed ... W I only wish that it was documented in the Help file so that clicking W on help in the program would tell you what the heck Start program W after system halt. means. Otherwise, how would anyone ever know?? Agreed, Wayne. What is the intent? If the system halts (I equate that with crash or blue screen of death, TB would then start when the computer restarts. This differs slightly from start TB at log on (which would ALWAYS start TB) because it would re-start TB only if it had been running at system halt -- but the difference is so minor (if I'm interpreting it properly) as to be missed by most people. Documentation continues to be the weakest part of TB's otherwise stellar operation. -- Bill Blinn Technology Editor ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) - 1/8/2004 at 6:38 AM Technology Editor, Newsradio 610 WTVN, Columbus, Ohio Using The Bat! v2.02.3 CE on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 Random thought: I don't need a disclaimer.

Hello Bill, On Thursday, January 8, 2004, at 6:43:50 AM, you wrote re: TB problem with PC Mag StartUp Cop: BBTE Documentation continues to be the weakest part of TB's otherwise BBTE stellar operation. Agreed. Almost everything that I click the help button for tells me that there is no help for that item. If the help file isn't finished, when will it be? One would think that they would have finished the help file before releasing the product! Also, is there a .pdf manual for this version of the product? I don't think I ever found one for version 1.x -- Cheers!

TB problem with PC Mag StartUp Cop
I recently upgraded to 2.02.3 CE and have observed an odd new feature. Whenever I start TB, it attempts to add an entry to the Registry (run once). I'm using StartUp Cop Pro from PC Magazine to monitor changes to the Registry's start-up keys and to the StartUp folder. When TB attempts to do this, StartUp Cop steps in to ask what I'd like to do. I've tried allowing it, disallowing it, enabling it, disabling it, and ignoring it. The results are always the same. I've not encountered this problem with any of the other 40 or so applications StartUp Cop is tracking. POSSIBLE solution: I disabled StartUp Cop and let TB start. Then I closed TB, started StartUp Cop again, and ran TB. This time it didn't trigger a warning from StartUp Cop. Anybody else using this little PC Mag utility? If so, have you seen problems with TB? -- Bill Blinn Technology Editor ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) - 1/7/2004 at 10:02 PM Technology Editor, Newsradio 610 WTVN, Columbus, Ohio Using The Bat! v2.02.3 CE on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 Random thought: A cynic searchers for an honest man using a stolen lantern.
