Yes. The reason I just do the whole The Bat! directory is I have other file/folders in there that aren't account specific. Things like my cookie file, glyphs.bmp (customized icons), PGP dlls, not to mention the userdic.tlx in the /The Bat!/speller, and any forms in the /The Bat!/forms folder. This way you get all your The Bat! stuff in one whack. JA> If you were running an older version, and backed that up using JA> your above method, you've just downgraded :P Totally agree with you here, but the idea was to make this the simplest way possible. Afterwards Izk could always run the latest distro installer to upgrade again. <Grin> JA> Another problem too, not sure if WinXP/2k can read the Win9x reg JA> files... I know if doesn't go the other way. Ooohhh, good one. I forgot about that. I honestly can't remember if NT/2K/XP will import 9x/ME registry keys properly. Maybe Izk wll let us know after he tries it! <grin> Or, Izk could send me the exported registry key, and I can fix it for him so that it will hit all the right registry keys.
