As others have already indicated, there is software out there that does not 
store any data in the registry. Virtual Access (mail and news client) does 
exactly this and copes with multiple accounts etc.

I am not technically literate when it comes to programming but don't really see 
the need to store configuration data in the registry, especially in a program 
like The Bat! where the users in this forum like to 'transport' their 
installations. Using ini files would make life considerably easier in that 
respect.

It would also make beta testing easier using ini files as you could run 
co-existing betas, just by running the exe for the beta which would load up 
configuration data from its own directory.

Just my thoughts ;-)
