REGEDIT DISAPPEARS

[Leonard]

When I attempt to access REGEDIT, from RUN or from the
command prompt, the regedit dialog window flashes on
screen and immediately disappears. Same for CTL-ALT-DEL
display.

I'm running XP Home, newly installed on a fresh HDD on a
new P4 system. I'm logged as system administrator; Up-to-
date Norton virus-scan reports no problems.

It really does sound like a virus though, Leonard. Try renaming =
regedit.exe to regedit.com and see if it will open.
