Office 97 pro in Windows 98 registry problem.
The file associations for the .MAQ (MSAccess query shortcut) and .MAT
(MSAccess table shortcut) are wrong and I can't figure out the correct
structure so I thought someone might post theirs. What happens is that when
I click on the Folder Options\File Types tab I get:

Explorer caused an IPF in Module <unknown> at 0000:6be00000
and Explorer caused an IPF in module <unknown> at 0000:c6100000

at each of these file types, a total of four crashes. I can avoid these by
deleting a Shellex key in both their associated keys but doing so causes
problems making these shortcuts, crashing Access with the same module and
address. Here is my Shellex for the Table shortcut:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Access.ShortCut.Table.1\shellex]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Access.ShortCut.Table.1\shellex\IconHandler]
@="{BB7DF450-F119-11CD-8465-00AA00425D90}"

exported before the delete. Could someone check this against their own and
let me know if they see any problem/difference. Thankyou,
ern.
 
The values are in MSACCESS.SRG (a text file).

You can convert MSACCESS.SRG to a .reg file
and click on it to reset all values. This is
the same as running Setup with the re-register
setting.

MSACCESS.SRG is normally run automatically to
re-register Access 97 if it has become un-registered,
but the startup check only checks some critical
value, not all values, so you have to force it
to run it you have just some minor corruption.

Thank you for that, worked like a charm hopefully. I edited and merged the
msaccess.srg and the IPFs on File Types have not returned though I do
notice that the
icons to these shortcuts in File Types have gone to the default icon again.
A little
more work with Access is needed for a full test.
Thanks again,
ern.
