Luckily, I make backups of my TB program directory and email folder (encrypted!!) to another PC every day (using SynchBackSE). Once a week, I also export TB registry entries. After I restored the TB program and email folder from the other PC to my laptop and imported the registry entries, I had TB up and running in about 5 minutes without any problem. -- Best regards, Dick ___________________________________________________________ I have multiple personalities.
