In following your instructions I found that my settings were exactly as you described, so that wasn't the problem. In another post from MPFA he suggested that I might not be running TB! as an administrator. To confirm, I right-clicked on the TB! .exe file and selected "Run As Administrator" and sure enough, the problem disappeared. I'm pretty sure my Win 7 user account was as an administrator so I never had to deal with a problem like this. Apparently MS decided it was too dangerous for users to run their computers as administrators and knocked everybody down a notch when they switched to Win 10. That said, the %WINDOWSPLATFORMNAME, %WINDOWSCSDVERSION macros still refuse to work. In any event, thanks for helping. -- Regards, Jack LaRosa Central Alabama USA Using TB! 6.0.12 OS: Windows, --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus ________________________________________________ Current version is 7.1 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
