Yep.
Try this.
Start | Run | Type: Regedt32 | Click OK |
Regedit.exe opens.
Leave it open.
Open the Task Manager, Ctrl + Shift + Esc.
On the Applications tab, right click Registry Editor and select Go To
Process.
Processes tab opens with regedit.exe highlighted.
Now look for Regedt32.exe under the Processes tab, you won't find it.
In Windows XP, *ALL* Regedt32.exe does is *OPEN* Regedit.exe.
That's why Regedt32.exe is only 3,584 bytes and regedit.exe is 134,144
bytes.
Regedt32.exe is in System32 and Regedit.exe is not, it's in WINDOWS.
Of course you have hacked Regedt32.exe or got one from an earlier version of
Windows. I don't remember your exact post in another thread about this. So
the above may be different for you.
Found it.
