I think it is a "trifle" buggy, even for me, in that when I allowed Windows to close The Bat! for me, the customary "compress all folders on exit" did not take place. Oh! Just now thought to check--and nor did it delete the contents of the Trash folder, as it is set to do. Only when I let Windows close The Bat! are these settings ignored. When I close it myself--my usual routine--TB! does what I have asked it to do. >> In less than another second Windows XP Home (Service Pack 2) began its >> "shutting down" routine.

Can you try to notice carefully exactly what else on your machine is different from mine? So far as I know I don't have a fixed IP either. Could gmx be part of your internet connection problem? Comcast provides my internet connection via cable broadband, as well as being my ISP for the account I'm writing to the list in. >> Sorry I could not confirm.
