    Got it, thanks.

    This version fixes a major bug in configuration storage in version 369

    Yes it does but I'm now wondering if I should just leave the old 369 configuration data where it is or VERY carefully delete it all ??

    and includes various improvements to the threads tree.

    The new font is a definite improvement, thanks.

    Regards,
    Martin

    I did the latter, but *would only recommend this to very experienced users' as the risk of damaging something is huge and the gain is cosmetically at best. The "odd" entries are not doint any harm, so they can safely just remain.

    As a rule of thumb, if the same key exists under WinPoint and directly HKEY_CURRENT_USER _AND_ contains the same data, it is probably a result of that bug and can be deleted.

    OK, and for now, I'm leaving things as they are.
