Reg Fix

These have been retrieved from posts to the various newgroups over the past several
months. I have used all of them and have found that they did not create any problems
for me. However it is always prudent to make a backup of your registry before making
any changes. I've simply included the code for the reg fixes here. You can create them
yourself, therefore eliminating the need for downloading. Another advantage to this is
that you will be able to see exactly what is being merged into your registry. Or if you
wish you can download the file and double click to merge to your registry.

To create a mergeable .reg file follow these simple instructions
1) Create a new file on your Desktop with Notepad
2) Copy the information with CTRL+C from the reg file on this page starting with the line
that reads REGEDIT4. 
3) Paste the information into the Notepad file
4) You must hit the Enter Key to place a carriage return at the end 
5) Then save it with a descriptive name and the extension .reg
6) Double click to merge it into your registry. That's it.
