Roelf has nothing in HKCR and also "/nologo /o:" with the "legitimate" associations, like me. > Also, what happens when you use the Send To Mail Recipient shell > extension? Does TB! hang? No. It's called "E-Mail-Empf�nger" (email recipient) here, which is a "MAPIMAIL file". This creates a new mail and appends the file, as it should be. But TB does not execute a mail template in this case, but gives a silly subject "write email to: thebat.exe" and the body says "The files were attached and can now be send with this message" (both translated from German). I guess, this is something Windows puts in when it calls TB!? Then I realised that I do not have the standard "The Bat!" in my SendTo folder anymore and I was quite sure, that some registry setting in HKCU\Software\RIT was remembering that it had setup one, but actually I cannot find that registry key anymore. Do you have something like that in yours? And I could not find a "Install SendTo" button in the Preferences.. but just putting a .lnk file in the SendTo folder resolves that for me.. ;) Fiddling around with all these association stuff I noticed another strange thing: If I uncheck all associations in Preferences -- Applications and click on "Associate Now" TB says: --------------------------- The Bat! --------------------------- OK to set associations? Previous associations can be restored by clearing checkboxes and clicking this button again --------------------------- Ja Nein --------------------------- That's bad design and definitely a bug (confirmations?). But it un-associates the extensions, except mailto:, which is checked the next time I open Preferences. Probably because I never set another mailto-handler, though I'm pretty sure that OE would have set itself to that. > Perhaps your best option is to reinstall TB! I don't think that would help much. In fact, I only have the "problem" that files (except .msg, .vcf and .eml) "opened with" TB will not be handled properly. But I never did this before and do not plan to do it again and so everything is fine. Just wanted to make a note and best would be the devs would take a look into that, but I guess it's simply another not important bug.. -- shinE!
