Hi Tomasz,

Yes it may seem strange to want to encrypt the AmiBroker directory.

The Reason is I keep a Large assortment of Trading related Scripts, AFL 
library, Batchfiles and Programs in my encrypted programs directory, as 
well as the Brokey.dll & My regular custom automation scripts in the 
Amibroker directory.

Too save hassel, I just encrypt all subdirectories from my root trading 
folder.
(Speed doesn't seem to be a problem with encryption turned on)

I don't actualy use amiquote, But I'll check OLE server is working.
All my JScripts seem to work ok.
And the QuoteTracker Plugin was working last time I checked.

Everything seems to be going ok.

Regards
         Michael.
