Unfortunately the install fubard and that option was NOT available. Infact it actually deleted my key also. This was directly downloaded from Illinois site. I redownloaded another one to wit it installed properly and accepted my key. And yes the treebar is now available to be removed. I still say, tho, that it is unwanted, uneccessary and should not default on due to the fact that it is useless and memory comsuming. But then again, we see that in all of winblowz programs, its just useless items thrown in to take up more wasted space.
Now back to making corrections and fixes for mIRC6.3.
