Regedit will not go to a new screen

[Guest letterman@invalid.com]

I was using Regedit to search for a line of text. I did my search,

and closed Regedit. Later I tried to search again for something else,

and found Regedit was still stuck where I left off in my last search.

It did not give me the "opening screen", it just went right into that

old search. I did a complete reboot and power down, and it's still

stuck in that old search. How do I kill that old search and get it

back to normal?

Press the ArrowLeft key a few times.

Regedit remebers the last key viewed. Just click on the My Computer icon in

the left pane and then start a new search. If you click the My Computer icon

in the left pane and close regedit, the next time you open it, it will be at

the "opening screen".

"In solving a problem of this sort, the grand thing is to be able to reason

backwards. That is a very useful accomplishment, and a

very easy one, but people do not practise it much. In the every-day affairs

of life it is more useful to reason forwards, and so

the other comes to be neglected. There are fifty who can reason

synthetically for one who can reason analytically." - Sherlock
