Anyhow, before trying these things, what is the name of the registry
files (I think there are two) in Win98se? I want to be able to put them
back (from Dos), if I f**k things up. I do have a full backup, but it's
easier to just replace the registry files....


The registry files are USER.DAT and SYSTEM.DAT in Win98.

I thank JT for those registry tweaks. I also had been annoyed for
years that clicking on an URL in my TeraTerm program always brought up
Internet Explorer though I had tried to make my default browser Firefox.
I merged JT's two .REG files into my registry, and they had the desired
result without any problems. (However, in the "Progid" file I had to
replace the line "Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00" with "REGEDIT4"
for the registry editor to accept it.)

Were you getting that same error I am getting saying it's not a valid
registry script (something to that effect)?

So did you just put Regedit4 on that line?
Like I said in a prior reply, I just copied it exactly as posted and it
wont work.
