By far the best approach I've ever seen was on another platform. An application directory always starts with a ! It shows a nice icon of the application. Inside the directory is everything that belongs to that application. Program files, settings, data etc. You can copy around that directory as you like. It just works no matter where you move it to. I think it's much less confusing then the current method. And the many registry tweaking/cleaner tools don't give a very positive feeling about the registry approach either. TB! doesn't even need a backup restore with that method because a simple copy from a backup will do. Just my 2 cents :P -- Tony Nothing is fool-proof to a talented fool. ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.00.00 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
