So my "solution" was shut down TB!, move the directories for the accounts I 
didn't want to be loaded into some other directory, then followed Adrian's 
suggestion:

3. Open the Registry editor via "Start -> Run -> regedit -> OK"
 (press Windows+R to invoke "Run") and under
 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\RIT\...\ rename "RIT" into "RIT_1".
 
And then started up TB!. I had to go through that quick set up sequence, but 
the accounts I didn't want to load are not loaded and, so far, no duplicate 
accounts. It's not the most ideal approach, but it is effective, so I'll take 
it.

Thanks for the help everyone!

Yes. I was answering the text I quoted, not the other question about 
duplicates. ;-)

I'm convinced when I had an account that appeared twice, the solution
I used was to add a new account with a similar name, then close down
TB!, then (in Windows Explorer) copy all files from the old account's
folder to the new account's folder, then start TB!, delete the old
account from the account list, and rename the new one to have the same
name.

I don't know. It only happened once for me so far with an account. 
I also had it with address books just after moving to a new computer.

I think you can add scheduled checking for new mail in the Scheduler
tool, with check-boxes to select the accounts. But that would be
independent of the settings in each account's properties.

That is tricky when they are duplicated in the account tree. The files
on  the  hard  disk  are  safe,  but assume account X is duplicated. Either all 
of the duplicates for
account  X  get  deleted  or  none of them. But sometimes only the one
highlighted when you select "delete".

Deleting the account.cfg and doing the registry edits fixes it (except
the account tree is now in a different order) for the
first time The Bat is started afterwards, but the duplicates come back
some time later and on subsequent restarts of The Bat.

But why do the duplicates happen in the first place?

I  could try a different PC with Windows 7 Ultimate instead of Windows
10  Pro,  but is there a way to set either "ignore check all accounts"
and/or  reset  all accounts so that no scheduled checking for new mail
happens  in one place without having to go into the properties of each
account one at a time?

You can delete the accounts you don't want shown. TB! gives you the
choice to leave the account files on disk, so that you could later
re-add the account and still have the old messages and folders.

We're all shipwrecked on this idea that everything has to be explained.

Ihave  a  similar problem, but it's more than one account (but NOT
all of them) that gets shown multiple times in the account tree.

These  instructions direct from Ritlabs actually  worked to remove the
duplicates,  but  has  the  side effect of changing the order. It also
only seems to be a temporary fix as some accounts have started to be shown
multiple times again.


-cut here.
1. Close The Bat!
2. Open the mail data folder and delete the file AccOrder.CFG
3. Open the Registry editor via "Start -> Run -> regedit -> OK"
 (press Windows+R to invoke "Run") and under
 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\RIT\...\ rename "RIT" into "RIT_1".
4. Start The Bat!, select the option "User-defined directory" and
point it to your mail data folder, the
respective accounts will be added to the program.
