But surely it is there since I have the file names in Options/Preferences/Protection. I opened everything in the registry I could see under HKey/Current User/Software/Rit/The Bat!. Didn't find that key. Strange. MW> I decided to remove *.GIF from my list (and subsequently the registry) MW> to see if I could emulate your problem. Guess what? I can still open GIF MW> files without a warning. These are .jpg files, mostly. When I save them to Desktop, they come up with a Gimp icon. (I have the Gimp program, but I don't recall associating "Save to Desktop" with it. Probably did and then forgot.) So what if I emptied the fields for both Enable and Disable under Protection? Would that be safe to do? I could save a copy of them and put it back afterward.
