   1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.
   2. Locate the following registry subkey:

      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\SPSSearch\ContentIndexCommon\LanguageResources

   4. In the right pane, double-click WBreakerClass. Make a note of the CLSID that is displayed in the Value data box. For example, the following is the CLSID for the English (United States) word breaker:

      {188D6CC5-CB03-4C0 1-912E-47D21295D77E}

      Click Cancel.
   5. In the right pane, double-click WBDLLPathOverride. Make a note of the name and the path of the .dll file that is displayed in the Value data box. For example, the following is the .dll file that is displayed for the English (United States) word breaker:
