Hi Bud,

A copy of Regedit.exe should exist in the C:\Windows folder. If it has been deleted, you can extract a copy from the i386 folder or from C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles\i386 folder (whichever location has the latest version of regedit.exe)

Ramesh,

Thanks for your help. Except for one problem, it told me what I needed to
know to get the original Symantec fix accomplished.

The problem: Wiindows couldn't find REGEDIT.EXE. I did a search, and found
it in C:\I386, so I "borrowed " that to update the registry, but I suspect
that I should have another copy of it somewhere else. Can you help?

Bud

Download the .REG file association fix from here:
http://www.dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htm

To apply the .REG file, follow these steps:

1. Save the file to Desktop.
2. Unzip file xp_regfile.zip and extract file xp_regfile.reg to Desktop.
3. Start Registry Editor (Regedit.exe)
4. From the "File" menu, choose "Import"
5. Select the file "xp_regfile.reg" and click "Open"
6. Click "OK" when you see this message:

---------------------------
Information in <PATH>\xp_regfile.reg has been successfully entered into
the registry.
