It's possible to have TB! installed on a single machine that several users log in to. Each could be using the same TB! installation. However, they each use separate registry keys. One is using OTFE, while the others aren't. The administrator comes along and needs to uninstall TB!. What happens then. One user is using OTFE while he's using TB!. Should the administrator be prompted for the passphrase of that user? I use a number of apps whose configuration can be passphrase protected. These are anti-virus agents, firewalls, mailservers and such. Not one have passphrase protected uninstall procedures, the reasoning being that it's an administrator's action which is already secured. -- -= Allie Martin =- The Bat!? v3.5.29 System Specs: http://www.ac-martin.com/sysspecs.htm -=-=- OS/2 is the operating system of the '90s - Bill Gates ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.5.29 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
