Regedit will not go to a new screen

[letterman]

I was using Regedit to search for a line of text. I did my search,
and closed Regedit. Later I tried to search again for something else,
and found Regedit was still stuck where I left off in my last search.
It did not give me the "opening screen", it just went right into that
old search. I did a complete reboot and power down, and it's still
stuck in that old search. How do I kill that old search and get it
back to normal?

Press the ArrowLeft key a few times.

Regedit remebers the last key viewed. Just click on the My Computer icon in
the left pane and then start a new search. If you click the My Computer icon
in the left pane and close regedit, the next time you open it, it will be at
the "opening screen".

"In solving a problem of this sort, the grand thing is to be able to reason
backwards. That is a very useful accomplishment, and a
very easy one, but people do not practise it much. In the every-day affairs
of life it is more useful to reason forwards, and so
the other comes to be neglected. There are fifty who can reason
synthetically for one who can reason analytically." - Sherlock
Holmes
