Whoa, I obviously haven't got the hang of The Bat yet, not since TBUDL started
showing up in digest format, which is rather annoying. How do you reply to a
specific message? Also how come when I hit reply it only quoted the first two
messages in the digest to which I was responding?
Anyway, I just wanted to point out that I *did* get past the problem by making
the account.cfg files write-protected even to myself. Yes, the security tab does
not show up in properties, but it does show up if you hold down control before
you right click, and KEEP ctrl down until you click on properties (i.e.
don't hold ctrl, right click, then let go, and then hit properties). You will see
the same old W2K security tab with some spiffy colors and shading on the
checkboxes.
As for XP being a beta OS, yeah, but why should The Bat be corrupting data? It
obviously has to do with how TB writes or re-writes data to the config files
while it's open, as the filesystem hasn't changed from W2K to XP. Maybe it has
something to do with filesystem indexing? Anyway, I'm glad to hear I was not the
only one with this problem. My advice is to back up every .cfg file in the same
directory as the original .cfg, so if it does get clobbered, just copy it back
(or copy the copy and rename that).
Mind you, under W2K this doesn't happen at all. Go figure.
Any thoughts?
