WARNING: The Registry Editor (REGEDT32.EXE) is a very powerful utility
that allows you to directly change the Windows NT Registry database.
However, using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems,
including hard disk corruption, the inability to boot Windows NT, and
general system instability. You may need to reinstall Windows NT to
correct any problems. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems
resulting from the use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use this tool
at your own risk.
