Thank you. It appears to register properly, however I still can't get gVim to open in-place in WordPad. Maybe I am not understanding how things are supposed to work, but I *thought* that gVim would act as an in-place editor if registered as a OLE server. Maybe I should look into contacting the developers who wrote the OLE portions of the code. Any ideas?
