SUMMARY
WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause
serious, system-wide problems that may require you to
reinstall Windows NT to correct them. Microsoft cannot
guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of
Registry Editor can be solved. Use this tool at your own
risk.
The following problems may occur when you run Pack Rat under Windows
NT:
- Borders next to continuous agenda items are missing.
- On RISC-based computers, you are unable to start Windows help files.
This is because there is no default association set up for the .HLP
extension. To add this extension, perform the following procedure:
- Start Registry Editor.
- Go to the following subtree and key:
HKEY_USERS\DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT
\CurrentVersion\Extensions
- Choose Add Value from the Edit menu and add the following value:
hlp : REG_SZ : winhlp32.exe ^.hlp
- Exit Registry Editor.
Windows help files should now start normally.
