Kelly!
All working now (well that's bit much ;) but NEW is working now and via TweakUI + shellnew things working.
One observation was I had to RunAs-admin/tweakui to get my usually used non-admin reg info inline with admin's
Is this always the case - I mean, admin fixes his setup hkcu's and then just how do non-admin people sort out or does admin troll through registry and reset each to mirror admin's reg info???
Thanking you in huge amts Kelly...
Regards
Tim

HKCR is built from HKLM\Software\Classes and HKCU\Software\Classes. A =
standard computer has no user entries. But if software is installed per =
user then it goes into hkcu\software\classes and overrides hklm =
settings. In this case editing HKCR will change HKCU (which a user can =
do). If not editing HKCR will change HKLM which only admins can do (but =
the user can go to HKCU\Software|Classes and ooverride system defaults =
for themselves.

Hi Kelly,

Do you mean that [Start] | Run | shellnew [Enter] is valid only if MS Office is installed?

I sent that email only once. Are the Date-stamps on all three emails identical?
