Are you having problem while logged in as a 'limited' user? Are you sure you gave the limited user the 'change' (i.e. modify) right to the 'C:\Program Files\The Bat!\Speller' Directory on a NTFS partition when logged in as an 'Admin' user? see http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,1455469,00.asp ... <snip> > Simplified file sharing is the default mode in both XP Home and XP > Pro, but simplified file sharing can only be turned off in XP Pro.

From what I've read per http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,1455469,00.asp you don't need a utility. ,----- [ per http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,1455469,00.asp ] | On a computer running Windows XP Home Edition and NTFS, you can set | individual permissions similar to those available in Windows XP Pro or | Windows 2000. The problem is, the Properties dialog for drives and | folders on an NTFS system does not have a Security tab. The only way | to set permissions is to log on as administrator, which you can do | only from Safe Mode. (To boot into Safe Mode, press F8 after the | graphical boot screen appears and select Safe Mode with Networking | from the menu.) After logging on as administrator, open the Sharing | tab of a shared folder's Properties dialog and click Permissions. As | shown in Figure 2 , you can set Full Control, Change, or Read | permissions for the users and groups in your network. To set granular | permissions for additional users, choose Add | Advanced | Find Now, | and you'll see a display of user names (local users only). Select a | name and click OK, then set the permissions. `----- Just trying to help. -- Best Regards, Greg Strong Using The Bat! v3.0.2.8 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________________ http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
