> -- Point well taken. I should of given a little more detail on the context. I think it is a marketing ploy as much as anything. The corporate brass don't want this info out there and the marketers do. This simply gives them the "comfort" of knowing that if a competitor gets their hands on it, the program will be destroyed. (As much of an illusion as this actually is!) I think checking against an ini file will do the job. Also, I know there have been threads about this, but the conclusion is that there really is no way of protecting video files (MPEG-1) from being accessed outside of the protected program. Correct?
