We maintain that the Skype plugin is a violation of our license. It is our opinion that no one should use this plugin. We will not support it or any consequences arising from its use. > Major Annoyance: accounts.xml suffers a lobotomy several times a year. :( <snip> > Has anyone ascertained what causes this data loss? The root of the problem is that invalid XML data makes its way into accounts.xml. We've done pretty much everything we can to mitigate this. The best suggestion I have to avoid this issue is to maintain proper backups. A simple logon script can maintain an adequate backup of this file, or you could go a bit overboard and write a script that maintains a multi-tier backup. John
