If so, try creating the account on the problem machine - it should pick up the copy that you made -- Rick When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car v5.1.6.6 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 3 Current version is 4.2.42 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

When I am trying to restore an account I copy the directory as you do, but I still have to create the account through the usual flow. Then I point that account's directory to the directory that was copied to the machine and everything should be loaded. __ -Sam Current version is 4.2.42 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Create a new account with the same name as your new account folder, TB will recognise those settings. -- Groetjes, Roelof Moderator not found: (A)bort, (R)etry, (P)ost Off-Topic? http://www.voormijalleen.nl/ The Bat! 5.1.6.7 Windows 7 6.1 Build 7601 Service Pack 1 5 pop3 accounts, 2 imap accounts OTFE disabled i7-2600 3.4GHz 4 GB RAM Current version is 4.2.42 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Hi, Roelof, Thanks for your response. On Friday, July 6, 2012, at 9:59 a.m., you wrote in response to my query about adding an account to two computers: ROTB stores the number of accounts in the registry. Therefore it won't ROlook for more accounts. ROCreate a new account with the same name as your new account folder, TB ROwill recognise those settings Ordinarily, when I create a new account, I have to go into properties and change the settings for transport, since the default settings don't work. This includes changing some of the ports, and some of the other options as well. When I create, as you suggest, a new account on PC2 with the same name as the new account on PC1, will I still have to go in and change those transport settings from their defaults, or, will The Bat automatically apply the changes that I set up on PC1? What do you think of Paul's suggestion to create a complete backup of the new account on PC1 and then restoring this on PC2? The only reason I see to do this is to make sure that the new account on PC2 has all of the changed settings from the account created on PC 1. -- Avi Avram Sacks Using The Bat ver 4.0.18 on Win XP pro sp3 and Win7 Home sp1 Current version is 4.2.42 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
