I want what I want because of the way TB! has been working by default. The fact that it now has different defaults didn't help me when I followed RIT's instructions and installed new versions over old. I think when you press F1, it should just take you to the TBUDL archives. ASK> You want to share settings (not only data) among multiple users.

Perhaps what I want is a little odd, however I cannot understand how I can set up a group that exists for all Windows users, but which is subject to pruning because of individual user's 'personal' settings. I would quite understand if the accounts simply weren't visible from the other user, but they are actually *removed* from the group for all users. Perhaps I can change my tune and say that TB! *is* multi-user aware but that it should then *not* allow a shared mail directory because it can't cope. I truly believe the simple problem is that programmers don't think this stuff through enough. Actually, that's not quite right. Programmers shouldn't have to think this stuff through - it should come from the designers. -- Cheers, Allister :flag-newzealand: New Zealand / Aotearoa ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.5.25 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
