Collapse Regedit

[Ted Smith]

Whenever I use Regedit or do a search in XP it always expands the what I
am searching/looking at. When I exit, and then re-enter I find that it is
still all expanded just like when I left it. I never had that problem in
Win95, which always neatly collapsed everything so you could get a fresh
start the next time. Can WinXP be set to do the same thing??

Thank you. But I am forced to use Netscape while I am trying to find a
fix for my dead IE6, and I can't get to the Rs on your webpage. Could you
send me the exact link. Thanks.

Ted, just hold down the left arrow key. It will collapse it back to My
Computer in a heartbeat.
