(I wish!) I've wondered about that userdept.ini file of yours. It doesn't exist here, but the contents of that file of yours are the same as the register entry: HKCU\Software\RIT\The Bat!\Users Depot\ So your problems might point at some problem that you don't have full access to your registry, strange as that may be since your using Win98se and as far as I know thart hasn't such abilities.

The settings whether an account is a user or administrator are kept in the account.cfg file of the matching account. Do you use software that restores files or something like that? When is the last time you ran a full check with scandisk of your mail partition, when did you optimize your mail partition for the last time? Do you run an updated virus scanner?

I've got a folder with that name too. Over here it was created by the AVG plugin when it detected a virus. TB displays the name as quarantine, but the actual directory name is $qrntn$. I don't know what would be the consequences of uninstalling the plug-in. Another possibility might be a corrupted thebat.exe, reinstalling it might do the trick. -- Groetjes, Roelof ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
