Works: Blank Lines in the REG.DAT File (107595)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Works 2.0
- Microsoft Works 2.0a
- Microsoft Works 3.0
This article was previously published under Q107595 SUMMARY
If you use Registration Info Editor (REGEDIT.EXE) to view the REG.DAT file,
you may see several blank lines at the top and bottom of the file. These
blank lines are caused by early releases of OLE 2.0, which inserted entries
that do not have an equal sign ("=") that is used by Registration Info
Editor to separate key names from text entries.
Do NOT delete these lines. The information you cannot see is vital
to the functionality of OLE and Windows in general.
MORE INFORMATION
To display more detailed information without the blank lines, use the
REGEDIT /V command to start Registration Info Editor and view the file.
This problem was corrected in a later release of OLE 2.0 and should not
occur in systems with Works for Windows 3.0 installed.
