Especially after I went through my excess mail and got rid of it. One thing I have noticed with compress on exit: If you turn off your computer before you shut down TB then it still tries to process folders, and windows thinks the program is not responding. SO it comes up with an End Now screen. You can ignore it and TB will shut as normal, or you can click end now and shut down a bit quicker. Dont think its a bug as such, just doesnt seem like ideal behaviour. -- Have Fun, Ben Allen [EMAIL PROTECTED] crashing The Bat! v3.85.03 falling out of mid air with Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2 If Movies teach us anything....
