[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1291074, member: 141969"] Thank you for investigating this and identifying the cause. :) I was a bit imprecise in my previous post -- I should have said [i]change the file extension[/i] of the files that you want to exclude. I have just tried this with the Ares DLL on my MP 1.29 system and it has eliminated all references to Ares in the log file. (y) When I test new files provided by the developers, my custom is to suffix the extension of the unwanted versions with a numeric digit. So suffix 0 is the version shipped with the product, suffix 1 is the first modified version, and so on. In this way it is easy to keep track of the different versions, and re-instate specific versions as necessary. The only place that I have found where changing the file extension does not work is the Windows "Startup" folder, where Windows will try to start everything in that folder, regardless of its extension (so changing ".BAT" to ".BAT0" does [i]not[/i] stop Windows trying to start that file). :( -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
