    HKEY_Current_User\ Software \ Microsoft \ Outlook Express Store Root = " blah blah blah " This will show where the mails are placed in the current profile..

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ CLSID \98911D00-6C9C-11D1-BB32-0060 \ShellFolder
    (searching for a (GUID Number)Key value of "98911D00" is the easiest way of getting there)
    Key should read "virgin net"
    2) Delete the "Attribute = 54 00 00 00" value

    Removing Content Advisors
     Quickest way...... do a search in the registry for "RATINGS" (without the quotes) delete folder )
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ Current Version \ Polices \ Rating Delete key..

    When you quit Internet Explorer, you may not be prompted to disconnect .
    This behavior can occur if the EnableAutodisconnect value in the registry is set to a data value of 00 00 00 00. To resolve this issue, modify the data value of the EnableAutodisconnect value in the following registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER \Software \Microsoft \Windows \CurrentVersion \Internet Settings Change the data value to 01 00 00 00. After you make this change and quit Registry Editor, restart your computer.

    SPLITTER.VXD:
    Error message windows cannot find splitter.vxd

    This is the first file loaded when re-installing DUN. Possible fault with the CD drive. Win 95 will keep searching for the file but will not be able to find it You must have correct win95 cd or the cab files on your PC Go to control panel > add remove programmes.Remove virgin software / Remove communications and then close all windows Go to start > run > type regedit click OK

    Back up registry to C:\regback. Go to:

    • HKEY LOCAL MACHINE \ System \ Current control set \ Service \ Remote access highlight folder, - Delete close files. Then to
    • HKEY LOCAL MACHINE again Click on Software remove Netscape and virgin net folders (they may not be there) then to
    • HKEY CURRENT USER \ Software \ Netscape folder delete \ virgin net folder and delete. Close registry and reboot Reinstall communications and reinstall software.
    Session Module Invalid
    Refresh comms >>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Current Control Set\Services\Remote Access\ authentication // highlight folder and delete.
    Refresh DUN >> reboot and retry. // If this fails rename rasapi32.dll to rasapi32.xxx And refresh comms and dun again >> reboot and retry

    Media INI file is missing
    Backup registry / HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Current Control Set\Services\Remote Access\authentication // highlight folder and delete Remove and reinstall comms and DUN or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ System \ CurrentControlSet \ Services \ RemoteAccess \ Authentication \SMM_Files key, and examine the "path" string values in it's sub keys - ie. CSLIP, NWP, PPP, RAS and SLIP... each "path" string's value data should be "rasapi32.dll". If they aren't, change them to this. After a restart, everything should be working ok. If it isn't, rename rasapi32.dll to (e.g.) .old, (via dos if you have to) and refresh Communications...it's probably a good idea to delete all of the "remote access" key if you're forced to do this. Assuming the csmr has no LAN 
    The mail servers are greyed out
    in the NN3 version of the software. http://www.ufaq.org/files/lck.zip This is done by a custom .LCK file which will need to be replaced with the default Netscape 3 .LCK in order for you to edit the mail servers. You can get this file from http://www.ufaq.org or a reg hack should do it HKEY_CurrentUser/Software/Netscape/Netscape Navigator/Services 
    To remove Remote Access

    Problems importing registry files
    If you have ever exported a set of Registry entries to a REG file, there's a good possibility you had trouble importing that same file back into the Registry. What happens is that you get a warning about tampering with the system, and the process terminates.
    If this happens, your REG file contains the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SYSTEM \CurrentControlSet \Control \ProductOptions\ProductType.
    When you try to import anything at all into the ProductOptions subkey, you get the aforementioned warning, and the import operation stops.
    All you have to do to correct this situation is delete the ProductOptions subkey from your REG file. 
    TELL REGISTRY ABOUT THE NEW *.CAB FILES LOCATION In our last tip, we suggested that you may want to copy the 30 MB or so of Windows 95 CAB files from the Win95 folder on the installation CD to a folder on your local drive. (That way, you can install components or drivers without the CD.) We also mentioned that when you open the Control Panel, click Add/Remove Programs, and so on, to install components, you'll need to point Windows to the correct path of the local *.cab files. With one simple Registry change, you can avoid this extra step.
    (Note: As always, back up your Registry files--System.dat and User.dat, hidden files in your Windows folder--before proceeding.)
    Open the Registry Editor by selecting Start, Run, typing | regedit and clicking OK. Navigate your way to
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup. In the right pane, next to SourcePath, you'll see the path D:\win95 (or the path from which you installed Windows originally). Right-click SourcePath, select Modify, and type the path of the folder to which you copied the CAB files on the Value Data line. Click OK, restart Windows 95, and the next time you attempt to install a component, Windows will know exactly where to look. 
    Clean the Registry
    Microsoft gives you several utilities for checking and cleaning the Registry--that file storing important system attributes. These include:
    * Regedit.exe--to view and edit the Registry
    * Cfgback.exe--to make backups of the Registry
    * Hwdiag.exe--to view detailed registry information about Emergency Recovery
    Regedit and Cfgback are available on the Windows 95 CD- ROM and Microsoft's Web site. Hwdiag is on the Win95B and Internet Explorer 4 CD-ROM 

    To change Identification  details in the registry
    Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
    The entry for your name and organisation is displayed here. Double click on the right hand panel entry to change details.
