Dear all, I'm just wondering what the line does:

regsvr32 somefile.dll

If I type it in DOS prompt, what would it do? I would think that it inserts
a line or two in the windows registry, but is there a way I can trace such
info and manually enter the values using regedit?

Thanx,
            Jules (julius@clara.net)
