Change the header to REGEDIT4 instead of Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00.

Yes, as Tom noted. "Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00" is for Win2K and XP or NTFS where REGEDIT4 is for Win9x. Bryan

ok, thanks, also it had lots of spaces, like every c h a r a c t e r had a space between it is that something to do with registry editor 5 ?
