i found ilemoderegex.txt just where it should be. i didn't find it at first, but then i realized i was looking at an altbinz copy on drive F when i was using the one on C (two different OS)
That isn't the problem. I searched all drives, the file is nowhere. And all other files like rssfilters.abz, dhistory.abz, config.abz, rsstree.abz, queue.abz, etc. are where there are supposed to be and there are changing date when I'm using alt.binz.
I think the problem could lie with win 7 x64 ultimate.
