There are a few other "Show an error..." options that you can disable if you like as well :)

Hope that helps! ]]> Error Accessing File: Handle is NULL https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/error-accessing-file-handle-is-null/?ID=1138e33f-37b1-4ecf-b70f-2f2f0777b9c4 Thu, 01 Feb 2018 16:43:25 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/error-accessing-file-handle-is-null/?ID=1138e33f-37b1-4ecf-b70f-2f2f0777b9c4 FileSeek I have just installed Fileseek Pro.
