The registry keys that TB uses are located in HK_Current_User and the very reason for this is that many people use TB on the same computer with someone else, and they use different ID's. So they most likely have different settings in their TB and use the advantages of HKCU to its full extent. WB> It would be great security too since TheBat would not even reside on WB> your computer. I am not sure about this. If all someone needs is to take away the USB drive, and can then plug it in any computer, it doesn't sound secure to me. I feel much safer having depend TB on my PC, over which I have more physical control than over a portable drive. The bad boy has to either sit on my own chair (he who doth that is doomed), carry the computer away (less likely than carrying a USB drive) or gain access through the internet (hacking / trojans etc) which I hope to prevent. No, I think it would be a lot less security if TB resided completely on a USB drive. Unless you lock the drive into a safe, right there with your diamond rings and the cash money the IRS doesn't know about. <Ad> You have a USB drive and need security for your email? Try SecureBat!
