regsvr32

[Mark Tangard]

I see this in numerous fixes offered here. What exactly does it do?

It's a built in windows program for manually registering/un-registering
files in the windows registry. If you bring up the command prompt and type
regsvr32/? you will see the options. (normally done automatically when
installing a program)

Hi

Nearly correct - regsvr32 can register/unregister certain .DLL and OCX files, but not all.
