Checking, and I find that under the Enviroment Variables, in the system
variables, there is an entry for SBBSCTRL for c:\sbbs\ctrl listed.  

I also checked the files properties to verify access levels.

There is only one user account and it is the admin account.   

Authenticated Users M/R&E/R/W
System Users - All but Speical
Administrators = All but Special
Users = Read/Write

That looks right to me...   Just for giggles, I changed them all to have full
permissions, including Special.  Rebooted just to ensure all are set, still no
joy. 

The BBS starts up, with no errors (minus gopher which I turned off).  Only when
I exit the BBS do I get that error.

Appreciate any other ideas?  :)
