Hi all, after sending my message, I went to look for other monitor tools at Sysinternals, and found the FileMonitor giving some interesting results.
I looked at the FileMonitor, while putting a message in the outbox, and saw that TheBat! is creating an awful amount of temporary files in the %TEMP% folder, it is just creating then and opening them for writeonly purposes. With an awful lot, I mean some hundreds. Occasionally (every 20 seconds) it looks for a file named: "thebat.ipc" in the Program folder (where TheBat! runs from), which it cannot find; I looked on my system and there is no such file on my system anywhere. TheBat! keeps making the .tmp files when it gets shutdown and stays active.... After having cleared out the bat*.tmp files from the %TEMP% folder, TheBat! seems to be faster and not to cause the problem anymore (though I stay sceptical of whether it may return). TheBat! is still looking for "thebat.ipc" every 10 seconds... what is this file for? sincerely, Marije Baalman ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
