hklm\software\classes\regfile\defaultlcon are
"c:\windows\regedit.exe,1" our default values for
hkcr\regfile\shell\open\command and
hklm\software\classes\regfile\shell\open\command are "regedit.exe "%1""

change 1 to 0 at all 4 without crashing system. thanks don

Sorry, but I'm not quite able to understand.
There is no "loading regedit at boot up".

HKLM\Software\Classes is mapped to HKCR.
If you change one both appearances will be changed.

What do you mean with "Change 1 to 0 at all 4"?

hklm\software\classes\regfile\shell\open\command "regedit.exe "%1""
means that opening a file with the extension REG will result in
calling "regedit <file.reg>".
If you want to change %1 to %0 you will cause some error messages
because %0 refers to the called program itself. You will cause a
command like "REGEDIT.EXE REGEDIT.EXE" to execute.

Ciao, Walter

to the "Startup" location either in the "Startup" directories or from the
registry's "Run" keys.

thanks for the info. windows 98 doesn't have ...control
lpanel\administrative tools\.....

we're trying to get rid of regedit.exe at startup. it's not
a shortcut on desktop and we have nothing useful in
start\programs\startup. any other suggestions will be
appreciated. thanks.

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

here we have, among others, "c:\windows\scanregw.exe\autorun" and
"systray.exe"; otherwise we have default value on first line.
shouldn't c:\windows\ regedit.exe be here if it's loading at startup?

This is a Windows 2000 group. Try posting to a win9x group. Seems there is a
system tool to view startup item.
