Windows may be daft but it's not that daft :-) The registry is only read when data is needed from it, admittedly quite a lot at boot time, but after that only when a program needs it. I have to say I long for the days of ini files, and MSFT guidelines for some years now have been for programs to keep their specific data in their own (probably xml) files. Not in the Program Files directory since the days of Vista though! -- Best regards, Jeff Gaines www.avoncastle.net ________________________________________________ Current version is 4.2.42 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
