Mike,

Could this be related?

Yes. Incorrect permissions are causing the problem. You can try resetting
the registry permissions, using SubInACL utility.

See: http://www.google.com/search?&q=subinacl+reset+permission

That may perhaps fix the original problem as well.

Hi Ramesh,

I tried those two commands. both said "succeeded" but when I tried to run
your .exe file again, I still received the same message, "Run-time error
'429: ActiveX component can't create object". I'm running Widows MCE 2005.
It
appears this problem started when I added user profiles. They all have admin
rights, but I noticed that I know don't have permission to edit some of the
registry entries, even if I try to change permissions. Could this be
related?

Mike,

That error means that the Windows scripting ActiveX control could not be
initialized in your system. FYI, OpenWithAdd.exe uses scripting runtimes
in
the code.

Click Start, Run and type these commands:

regsvr32 wshom.ocx
regsvr32 scrrun.dll

I unzipped the app, (although since Win Zip also can't be associated, I
had
to start WinZip first, then drag the file to it), and tried to run it but
I
got a "Run Time Error 429. ActiveX component can't create object".
