Okay, so you'd be able to lock your accounts, but all users would still be forced to use the same settings, customization etc. >> Placing the .ini in the mail directory means you're forced to use the >> default location for the message base.

That has nothing to do with your reply. When you want to place your .ini file in the mail directory instead of in the program directory, this means that the mail directory has to be in the default location (documents and setting\..), because otherwise TB cannot find the message base and the .ini This is because the program director is no suitable location (according to me) and the location of the message base is now stored in the registry, but the contents of that registry have to be stored in your .ini file.

I'm trying to, but it doesn't make any sense in this context. -- Groetjes, Roelof The ultimate Virus, a self-installing copy of Bob.
