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)

The only time I've used it is to restore defaults when IE4 no longer
displays preview pictures in explorer or to restore defaults in OE to show
images, then the command is:
regsvr32.exe /i shdocvw.dll this is run from Start/Run
Not a full answer I know but I hope of some use.
