ML, I was finally able to track down some sort of answer to your issue with Embird. It turns out that it WILL be just about as easy as Judith's 'fix'. Here is the text from the Embird site (although it was very difficult to locate) - Everytime I do some changes in settings of Iconizer plug-in, it shows error "Cannot write to Windows Registry! HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.{extension}. If you are running Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista, please log on with administrator privileges." 1. Select "Start > Run" menu in Windows. 2. Type in "regedit" and click OK button to launch Registry Editor application. 3. Locate the key "Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.{extension}" at the left side of the screen using the tree structure. 4. Double click this key to open it. Probably it will have the "PersistentHandler" subkey. Delete the "PersistentHandler" subkey. If you're not comfy editing the registry, we'll add this to what I need to do when we make our remote rendezvous. ;) Happy Holidays, Gman "The only dumb questions are the ones we fail to ask" ----- Original Message ----- From: "ml" <my2punkin@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, January 02, 2009 5:35 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: Error Message in ArtRage, etc. > Wonder if that kind of change for this problem could seem to be as easy > for > the Embird error???
