Thanks I keep forgetting that. Probably due to the fact that it hasn't
caused any errors thus far. I'm not sure that it's the only problem though
because it's been working fine like that for quite some time. It's ony when
the laptop gets onto the network that there's a problem. Does
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT work store the same info for every user or is this user
specific. I'd like to have file tipes registered across all users of the
machine so is that what HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\CLASSES is for?
