Or in the .ini file, so that all RO> users on the same computer are bound to same settings? I think it's a good idea. Instead of an option TB! could check for the presence of "the_bat.ini" on startup, or the ini file could be specified as a command line parameter. The command line would be more flexible, though checking for the presence of a specifically named ini file might be safer; if you clicked the exe instead of the right shortcut on a foreign computer, you could easily contaminate the registry. Of course with either of these methods there'd need to be a way to create the ini file in the first place. Maybe TB! could read/write a registry export file. Then you could export TB!'s registry key on your home computer and put it on the USB key. Any preference changes you made on the road could optionally be made to the home system by simply importing the updated file. -- George Using The Bat! 3.0.2.8 on Windows XP Pro, Service Pack 2. ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.0.2.10 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
