I have just solved my problem, which turned out to be 65000 tmp files in a tmp folder I didn't knew existed. It was located at the path c:\Documents and settings\<my login>\Locale settings\Temp\ and the files was named bat*.tmp Now I've created a batfile, which I've placed at c:\Documents and settings\<my login>\Locale settings\ which contains the line del Temp\bat*.tmp I've set TheBats scheduler to run it once a day, so now TheBat cleans up after itself. (note: I use a danish Windows 2000 so "Locale settings" is translated from the danish version, and may have a different name in the english or other versions.) -- Best regards, Simon Mikkelsen Contact information http://mikkelsen.tv/simon/contact/ ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
