Hello The Bat! developers, I'm using The Bat! Version 1.53bis Serial Number BB892117 under Windows NT 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 1 and would like to report a bug The bug description: Not all DDE related registry keys seem to be well formed. I have discovered 3 places where TB! stores DDE settings in the registry: /1/ HKLM\software\classes\mailto\shell /2/ HKLM\software\classes\The Bat! message file\shell /3/ HKLM\software\classes\The Bat! vCard file\shell /1/ seems to be correct: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\mailto\shell\open\DDEexec] @="%1" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\mailto\shell\open\DDEexec\Application] @="thebat" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\mailto\shell\open\DDEexec\Topic] @="tbDDE" /2/ however (as well as /3/) looks strange, instead of an shell\open key adjacent to shell\command there is a much deeper tree with a touch of recursion: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\The Bat! message file\shell\open] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\The Bat! message file\shell\open\command] @="\"F:\\Program Files\\The Bat!\\thebat.exe\" /nologo /o:\"%1\"" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\The Bat! message file\shell\open\command\shell\open\DDEexec] @="/nologo /o:\"%1\"" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\The Bat! message file\shell\open\command\shell\open\DDEexec\shell\open\DDEexec\Application] @="thebat" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\The Bat! message file\shell\open\command\shell\open\DDEexec\shell\open\DDEexec\Application\shell\open\DDEexec\Topic] @="tbDDE" PS: i have crossposted this to TBTECH. It's quite usual to crosspost bug reports to TBUDL or TBBETA, but as I thought that this bug report will only bore most of TBUDL readers (and the subject is quite technical), I'm sending it to TBTECH. Is this okay?
