could you change the HKCR\CLSID\{450........} settings to catch all?  I have
had a problem trying to stop My Documents showing when you do a right
click>save as on an attachment in Outlook 2000 and have been playing around
with this and received mixed results.

Neil, I would be interested in any comments you have on this.

I doubt whether this will work.

I may sit corrected - but it doesn't stand to reason that everything in
HKCU, for user settings, can be subverted by catch-alls in HKLM. Where this
*does* occur, it's because specific machinations have been put in place to
make it work - not the other way around.
