Rigamonk/Patrick -

I'm not an expert by any stretch of the imagination when it comes to the
Reg, but assuming that whatever you're doing is accurate and pertains to the
issue at hand, have you been closing Regedit and then re-opening it? I think
certain changes don't become "visible" until such actions as closing it and
then re-opening and have occurred.

If I'm way off the mark here, simply disregard my post. <g>
