If all else fails, you can try this, if you wish, using windows search function or just find the file types in windows explorer: 1. Click "Start" 2. Click "Search" 3. Click "All files and folders" 4. Type in box below "Search by any or all of the criteria below" the following: .msg,.eml,.vcf 5. Select your local hard drive below "Look in" 6. Click "Search" 7. As soon as the 3 file types appear, stop the search or wait until it finishes 8. Then separately, Shift/Right Click on one of each of the 3 file types (.msg,.eml,.vcf) 9. Select "Open With" 10. Then select "Choose Program" and a windows dialog box opens 11. Scroll to "The Bat E-Mail Client" and select (highlight) or "Browse" to the TB executible, if you need to 12. Then tick the box next to "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" 13. Click "OK" 14. Open Options-Preferences-Applications in TB and tick all 4 boxes again plus tick the box next to "Check that The Bat! is the defaut mail client upon startup" 15. Click "OK" 16. Close TB and reopen 17. If TB is not associated as the default mail client, a dialog window will open asking if you want it to be then click "Yes" See if that works -- steverio TB!v3.64.01 Christmas Edition TBV!v3.64.01 Windows XP Pro 5.1 Build 2600 SP2 OTFE ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.64.01 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
