Default Editing Registry

Hey Nick,

Within regedit, CTRL-F will let you search, F3 will search
for the next instance of whatever you searched for with
CTRL-F. To edit a key, double click on it in the right
window pane, to delete a folder or key right click on it.
The registry is a database, so there is no save command;
saving is automatic. Also, MAKE A BACKUP if you are not
familiar with editting your registry .. If you just
recently installed this application that you want all
traces removed, consider using the system restore wizard
(search for it in Windows help). You can restore to a
previous state without the dangers you encounter by going
into the registry yourself.

Recently upgraded to XP, clean install. Trouble with
scanner program. Contacted vendor, download and install
new software. Didn't work. Vendor says that I have to
remove all mention of sftware from registry.

I can get into the Registry edit routine, but have no idea
what the operative commands are to find, edit and save?

Is there a souce for help?

Nick
