FYI...
It just occurred to me that a lot of quirky issues related to my win2K OS
went away once I quit running Norton Utilities at startup...

Subject: REGEDIT PROBLEM


Thanks to everyone who offered their suggestions about my problem editing
the registry.  It is now solved.  The culprit was a program running in the
background.  It was a Norton program called Clean Sweep.  I didn't even know
it was running.  It was one of those problems that loads at startup.

One interesting aspect was that I could run regedit in Safe Mode and that
was symptomatic of a virus PWSteal.Trojan which attempts to steal login
names and passwords.  However, that was not present.
