I just looked and I also have teatimer_original. Its creation date is shown as 1/24/06 and the teatimer has creation date of 2/1/06. Both are version1.4.0.2.

Are the file sizes of both TeaTimer.exe files identical down to the byte?
If so, try this:
- Open a Command Prompt window
- Change to the directory Spybot S&D is installed in, usually the following line:
CD "C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy"- FC TeaTimer.exe TeaTimer_original.exe
This should display any differences between the files, byte by byte.
Copy the results if there's only a few and paste them here. If there are many and they scroll off the screen, copy the first screen only and mention that in the same post.

I just backed up the original TeaTimer.exe (which I still use) to TeaTimer_original.exe. I then created a TeaTimer.exe using the ResHacker fix published by ElPiedra here:

I did do the ElPiedra reshacker fix to correct the graphic bug in the teatimer popup.
As I was doing the change, I remembered that I forgot to make a backup of teatimer before doing the fix.
I just read the Reshacker help manual:
"Modifying (replacing) resources:
Firstly, a warning or two:
If the user intends to modify resources, make sure the original file is backed up first. Then, thoroughly test the 'new' file. To facilitate this, whenever a file is modified and saved, Resource Hacker™ will now automatically make a backup copy of the original file (eg: Explorer_original.exe) before saving the modified file."
Anyways-is it OK to remove "TeaTimer_original"?

I hate answering questions like that. That is really up to you.Originally Posted by stevek
If you're satisfied that the modified TeaTimer.exe is running properly, never intend to return to the "TeaTimer_original" version or patch it again with another fix or patch, need the disk space or just want to cleanup then feel free.
Otherwise it isn't affecting anything and occupies 1.35 MB (1,417,216 bytes) which may or may not be a concern on your system.

Thanks.Mystery solved.
Thanks md usa
Post # 9 hit both spots. Teatimer_original.exe was indeed created when I used El Piedra fix to the pop up window bug; the Resident log file restore also worked fine.
Thank you.
Ditto: Thanks md usa
You solved the mystery of two teatimer.exe files and explained how to how to restore the Resident.log as well.

re: TeaTimer's snapshots
Since I continue to get the warning messages after I "update the snapshots", I am assuming that this isn't working.
It is possible that I don't have appropriate permissions for the files to be updated (but not likely). What files can I check to see if they are getting changed? Is there some other thing I could be doing wrong?
