I don't keep all my SMPro batches, nor do I give them special names.. just batch#1 and so on. Under win98, the save dialog box allowed me to sort by date - so I could easily re-use the oldest. I just moved my auction stuff to WinXP and the dialog box to save a new batch now thinks I'm dealing with music files and won't let me sort by date or view file details.
Is there a simple way to get the old function back, by convincing windows or SMPro that these are normal files?
That's pretty odd -- you probably have a setting on that is automatically trying to associate file types with specific programs. I unfortunately would not know what you can do on your computer to get it to stop recognizing those files as music files. What file type is it trying to save it as?

Hi Sonya..
it's happy to make it .awb, but there is definitely something that makes that .awb a sound type file, as you say this is prabably due to some other program having gotten at the settings. Windows says my file could be associated with either Real Player or SMPro. What's happening when I save is that the dialog selection box displays the file name, then artist/album fields like it's a playlist and not the date/time/size fields of general files.
I'll have another look at it and try to make the file extension SMpro only. I have another work around anyway - the file menu lists the last batches I used, in order, so I can guess the oldest from that.
