Re: Save As dialog box not working in IE, no registry settings to reset??
Hi

Hopefully 31st time lucky. If I understand you correctly, you basically open
up regedit, and navigate via the left pane to

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell \AttachmentExecute\{0002DF01-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}

Your last 'click' should be on {0002DF01-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} in the
left pane. Then in the right pane you should (theoretically) see a list of
entries eg CompressedFolder, one of which should sound like it relates to
mp3 files. To resolve the problem you'd *delete* it from the right pane, not
add anything.

Hope that helps
