W2k problem!

ok, how can do i reg scan? i think my registroy is somehow damaged, for once i click on "show desktop," my bar will disappear entirely...help!

I think your Explorer is damaged. You could try to reinstall Internet Explorer, if it doesn't help - reinsall 2K...

However, a reg scan is made by
scanregw
under W2K, and if you get into recovery console, use
scanreg
- it may be safer.

Hope this helps.
