In fact there are four registry parameters in use today : in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Alainza\CraftySE : CRAFTY_BOOK_PATH specifies the book's folder, by default = <CEBOARD's folder>\Engines\CraftySE CRAFTY_LOG_PATH specifies the logs & games folder, by default = <CEBOARD's folder>\Engines\CraftySE\Log CRAFTY_RC_PATH speficies the .rc folder, by default = <CEBOARD's folder>\Engines\CraftySE. Rem: I don't know if .rc works, I haven't tested... CRAFTY_TB_PATH specifies the tablebase folder, by default : \Carte CF\TB Alain " CEBOARD's folder>\Engines\CraftySE -> the books should be in this folder. Is that where they are? If it is , turn logging on and either post it here or e-mail me. Mike
