Re: NOTEPAD PROBLEM

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Don, there is a rule that always works, no matter what you're trying
to accomplish: "If you're ever tempted to use the phrase '... assume I
have ...', you probably don't."
Switch to the Admin account, then open the REG file in NOTEPAD and
read the file to learn what it is trying to accomplish. If you can't
open the file in NOTEPAD, as I couldn't, extract it first then open
and read it. Having read and understood the changes, double click the
extracted file, and it should fix your problem.
