What you actually said ===> "The Find button example takes about 3
mins tops for any program so don't exaggerate."
What you neglected to mention is 'find' is useless unless you know
beforehand WHAT you tell Regedit to look for. I'm sorry you can't
stand to have the record corrected. That's a common problem of the
fanboy crowd. They say something either factually wrong or
deliberately misleading then scream bloody murder when facts confirm
they were spreading their usual BS.
