Ahh. Interesting. I have't gotten around to making that little
fix another poster was kind enough to give me, so this is very
timely. I actually do not foresee a need to go the XP registry
often - rarely, in fact - so it may not even matter, ultimately.
I seem to have the stupid OS more or less under control and
there is only one program I am using with it which works fine.
Still, thank you very much for the info.
(And yes, I have/am on 98SELite now, it's a dual boot only
because of that ONE video editing program for some old
film/video work I want to "archive".)
