It's in there because I didn't make the dialog. I'm working on the GUI as we speak, and I will use diffent dialogs. Also, what does browsing network folders have to do with CD keys?

Having network code in a program with no reason to have it sending info anywhere suggests a trojan.

Maybe. Quantam has reason to assume this. I know that Quantam is a professional who always goes beyond the things. What I know is, that the main MPQ of each Blizzard game since Starcraft will be encrypted someway with the CD-key during installation. What I don't know is, how to get it out. TechMPQ is a MPQEditor, so Quantam can assume that it collects information like that. But I don't think that Technetium knows how to access the CD-Key, which is encrypted somewhere in the main MPQ (in Warcraft III war3.mpq). Sorry Technetium, excuse this, if you know it. I assume that Quantam knows how to get the CD-key out of a main MPQ of a Blizzard game since Starcraft.

Technetium, don't understand this post wrong, that is no insult. It is a possible reason for Quantams insult.

No offense taken =P I really don't know that much about how Blizzard encrypts the CD keys. The one thing I do know, is that it's NOT in the registry.

No, i said somehow in the main MPQ of a Blizzard game since SC.
