I saw a few add-ons that claimed to do that (or similar) together with a registry hack. But I'm on XP, so I have all that to look forward to. We are also on XP at work, but switching to Windows 7 next year. > Probably, but I've used Windows firewall on this PC for > a while now without any intrusions not caused by me and > my inattentiveness when installing new software. The firewalls buit into a lot of routers are similarly unobtrusive, and active by default. I have used the firewall in my router, plus the Windows XP one, for several years now - ever since Zone Alarm evolved into something I find completely unuseable. > I may not have phrased that correctly.

TB! had grabbed it, verified it, and "thanked" you and then displayed the first 56 characters when you were subsequently trying to enter the code? Things probably change between versions: if I revisit HELP/ENTER REGISTRATION CODE, I am presented with a blank box where a code could be entered/pasted. And the clipboard contents are not grabbed. That may be because TB! doesn't need me to enter a code any more, but I don't recall it happening - and would not find it helpful, since I would not copy a licence code to the clipboard before having the field available to paste it into. Maybe there is about a 50% chance that the clipboard would already contain the licence code when navigating to HELP/ENTER REGISTRATION CODE. -- Best regards MFPA mailto:2014-667rhzu3dc-lists-gro...@riseup.net No man ever listened himself out of a job Using The Bat! v4.0.38 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 3 ________________________________________________ Current version is 6.6 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
