Regedt32 hangs: solution

[Dr. Cool]

Problem: I was not able to run regedt32.exe in my Windows 2000
machine. It would run for circa 10 seconds and lock afterwards. CPU
usage would stay at 100% and I had to kill the registry editor using
task manager.

Solution: disabled "auto refresh." Solved the problem.
