You are on an office computer, owned by THE COMPANY. THE COMPANY says you are not allowed to add software to their computer on penalty of being fired. THE COMPANY has bots that run through the network at night, spying on computers on the network, looking for suspicious files and programs. On some computers, running win2K, the average user DOES NOT HAVE ADMIN rights to add software, so you have to ask their IT people to add it, and they of course say NO. -- Paul Using The Bat! v1.63 Beta/5 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
