I've performed that same routine a number of times, and have yet to run
into any kind of problem. :o)

Yes, but he did mention that he restored the Registry entries.

Why? What would installing TB! change? Simply moving over the entire
Program Files/The Bat! Folder along with restoration of the Registry
entries will/should suffice. The only advantage to actually *installing*
TB!, is that it would create an entry in the Add/Remove List of Control
Panel... but then again I've heard from others that TB!'s uninstall
routine does not work anyway. ;o)

Are there any error messages given? What exactly do you mean by "stopped
working"? It shouldn't have if you moved the entire Folder structure over
to the new machine.
