How to change a single value in Registry with a simple file?

Thanks for this very useful fix.

Maybe you could help me for another one:
In "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{GUID}\
Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0",
I want to reset the "Compact Check Count" to zero, with just
double-clicking a file.

Unfortunately with a REG file I know how to change a whole key,
not a single value. Maybe by just removing al but the said value
in the key? But for acting in Registry, I prefer asking than
trying.

If you could show me how to build the file for "Compact Check
Count", it would greatly help me (for this example and later
ones).

Group,
I have XP Home and my mouse act a bit funny. When I
double-click a folder, instead of opening the folder, I get the
Serarch Results box which is what I would use if I wanted to
fine a file or folder. But if I right-click and select Open,
the folder opens. What do I do to correct this. I went to the
Logitech driver and could not find a reasonable setting that
makes this happen. Your thoughts on fixing this problem.

Tony
