Very interesting Peter, as I found the same as you about deleting the 
PdoxRegCL.exe file.
How do you replace the latter with a text file renamed PdoxReg.exe 
though? I have created a 'dummy' text file and saved it but how do you 
put that into the Register, editing in the Register does not allow 
copying I find.
