I had a problem with my firewall wanting me to allow batch files for a toolbar I'm running. The toolbar developer said to allow certain files, one being all .bat files. I found all of the other files in the toolbar folder, so I searched for the .bat files.

Well, according to Vista, I have NO .bat files ANYWHERE on my system. I've searched the entire C: drive, including all the files, and no .bat files.

And yes, I did click to search hidden files, etc.



Any help would be appreciated.

Yeah more info would be nice, and did you try the basic things like re downloading.

I'm sorry, but I can't give any more info on the toolbar because it's used explicitly for a place I work, and I had to sign a non-disclosure agreement. It's a toolbar you use to log into and out of the site that enables them to track your work and your time.

Yes, I tried re-installing. The toolbar works, no problem, and I wouldn't have a problem with Comodo if I could find the .bat files I am supposed to list as safe. They have to be on the computer somewhere. Why wouldn't Vista be able to find them, or ANY .bat files for that matter. You can't tell me there are no .bat files on my computer.

I've searched the entire hard drive for *.bat and NOTHING comes up. I can search for any other extension, .mp3, .exe, .cmd....anything...and they come up, but not .bat.

I have no idea what you're talking about. I don't have a "works server," whatever that is. All I have is a laptop.

As I thought, there are many .bat files on my computer, but it doesn't seem to be able to find the one I need, which is supposed to be inside a FF add-on toolbar. Oh well, I'll just have to disable Comodo and use Windows firewall while I'm working there.

P.S. I used it to search specifically for that file and it didn't find it. I have no idea why Comodo can find it and nothing else can. Is there such a thing as a .bat file that is created as it is needed? According to the toolbar tech team, there are several .bat files under different numbers, and we are supposed to allow them all with a wildcard where the numbers are. I even searched for one of the numbers, and nothing. It is truly a "hidden" file.
