Subject: Tablebases.....Should they turn off when you select "Turn Off" ???

 Should the Nalimov Tablebases turn off when you select Turn Off ??

All that I find that happens is that the full list of forced moves in the 3,4,
and 5 piece endings do not show in the window. The forced moves will still be
played however. Is this normal?

I had contacted Chessbase on this a few years ago. They told me then, that it
only turns it off for the GUI but they still function internally. What is the
point of that then? Makes no sense to me.

If I want turn off the tablebases, I have to Rename the Tablebase Folder. I can
do this while the Fritz program is in operation, however, if I wish to turn on
the Tablebases again, I have to close out Fritz, including the Play
Fritz....Playchess.com window (Completely close out of Fritz !!) and rename the
Tablebase folder back to Tablebases.
Even if I change the path in the Options>Tablebases to a Wrong Path....the
default brings back the C:Program Files\ChessBase\Tablebases path.

Has anyone found an easier way to turn off the Tablebases?
