Re: Can't search for text in Wordpad files

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

That key already exists, with a value of:
{98de59a0-d175-11cd-a7bd-00006b827d94}

Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Mich

Reboot WIndows. IMPORTANT NOTE. if there is yet a subkey named
