REGEDIT program totally gone
I've no idea how this has happened but it seems Regedit has disappeared from
my computer entirely. I also noticed Notepad had disappeared a couple weeks ago. Not sure what is causing this as neither my anti-virus program nor my spyware program are detecting anything. Regardless, I really need to know how to reinstall regedit. quick info: Windows Vista 64 SP1 |

I also noticed Notepad had disappeared a couple weeks ago. Same questions as above: How do you know? How and where have you looked for it? Not sure what is causing this as neither my anti-virus program nor my spyware program are detecting anything. What anti-virus and anti-spyware programs do you run? Are they up to date? If Regedit is truly gone, it's very likely that the problem was caused by a malware infection. Regardless, I really need to know how to reinstall regedit. quick info: Windows Vista 64 SP1 -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP (Windows Desktop Experience) since 2003 Please Reply to the Newsgroup |
