| 458989 | 2006-05-30 02:57:00 | In the dim past someone asked the above question and it was answered in the magazine. It involved a registry operation that involved the removal from a couple of folders. There are two folders, one called run and run-, the others were services and services-. My question is which to remeove them from, the minus folder or the non minus folder. Peter A |
