Bryan, Here it is now March 2007 and I've run into this same problem, which after
doing some checking, is apparently quite common. I followed your instructions and
after closing the Registry Editor, I ran the Disc Cleanup and it went so fast,,,
it was almost instantaniously. Ir worked great! Now, is there a need to restore the
exported key, and if so or if not, should I leave it on my desktop? Oh,,, thanks
loads, man!!!
