Looking through my registry tree, "Vi Improved - A Text Editor" appears exactly 4 times, 2 each as data in: foo\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\MUICache Where "foo" is either: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software HKEY_USERS\S1-1-5-21-.... (long Key) The 2 Values are: C:\Vim\vim70\gvim.exe (where I execute from) C:\vim\vim70\src\gvim.exe (where make puts it) Searching my registry tree for any key, value or date containing "vim.exe" I only find things containing gvim.exe. Yes, I have and use vim.exe, but there are no references to it in the registry. -- Best regards, Bill
