A file in this directory instructs Mail Remote for Windows to use the new files to identify your login and mail access. Mail prompts for login access according to the user identification in the new files. Mail Remote for Windows prompts each user for a data disk at start up if you remove the following user data files from the disk: - Delete all .GLB files from the \MSMAIL\MSRMT\GLB directory - Delete all files from the \MSMAIL\MSRMT\MBG directory - Delete all files from the \MSMAIL\MSRMT\KEY directory Each time you start Mail Remote for Windows, it prompts for new data files.
