Hi Armando and all, Sorry I have not replied sooner but I had no responses
from anyone and then bingo they all came in just now, all in one go!
Yes I did try to restore a RegCleaner (JV16 Powertools) backup but it didnt
work. Mind you, I tried the last backup it did, however I dont really know
how long I have had the problem because I dont need to click on properties
very often. I was installing Britannica 2004 and I was following the
specific instructions to see if I had enough room. That was when I
discovered the error message.
I do have a bit of further information though. Now, when I right click and
chose properties on, say, My Computer, it works properly. On other things,
it doesnt work properly, will bring up the error message and then work as
normal. So, I dont quite know why it now does that because when I first
noticed the problem, it occurred on everything and, of course, the first
place I noticed it was on "My Computer". So, whether the RegCleaner backup I
used, or whether even the scannow, did something, I dont know.
Thanks for everyone's input. And yes, I do also use the Microsoft RegClean.
It seems to work okay, hasnt caused any problems that I know of and seems a
pretty innocuous little programme (famous last words .... !!). And yes
Armando, I use XP Home.
Sandy :)

Cuffy, the application in question here is jv16's
RegClean. Sandy stated that she had used it on her XP
installation previously without trouble.
This time, apparently, something may have gone awry and
when she right clicks on anything & chooses
"properties" she gets the "RegOpenKeyEx:The handle is
Invalid " message. Then she clicks OK and can continue
with the Properties dialog box.
A previous restore point and a scannow did not work in
solving this. By default jv16 RegCleaner backs up what
changes it makes but I haven't been able to get Sandy
to confirm if she can/has tried this option to resolve
this glitch she has encountered.
Got any ideas that she could try before I recommend she
tries a "Repair Installation"?

Microsoft RegClean 4.1a Utility program was developed
by Microsoft for Win95, Win98, ME, to clean and repair
Windows Registry errors. Since introducing Windows XP
the free Regclean download program is no longer
supported by Microsoft. It is NOT even available for
download from Microsoft's website anymore. However,
RegClean 4.1 will also run on all Windows XP 2000
Operating Systems.
We seem to have some contradicory information. Have you
run and had problems with Regclean 4.1a on the XP OS?
Seems a little strange?
