>>Check the Microsoft site for a program named RegClean.exe. I think the current version is 4.1a. According to the December 2000 issue of Windows 2000 Professional, it can safely be used to clean the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT hive. I've tried to find it on the MS site, but unfortunately haven't had much luck.

Thanks, Rick. That explains why I couldn't find it.
