Long-due updates and Thanks! [not a sucks/rocks post]

With regard to a couple of posts I made a few weeks back, I thought I'd post this in the off-chance that somebody else faces the same problem in the future and can save tearing their hair out. 1. Smart Editor is cr*p. Not only is the product worthless, it installs a couple of shell extensions for almost every goddamn file type. X| And when you uninstall this piece of dung, it doesn't remove them. I'd asked here how I could remove those menu items. Sadly, the answer is
I had to go through the registry and delete all those keys. :mad:
2. A big Thank you to everybody who helped me with the IIS problem. I was able to salvage my PC and save it from the fate that the IT department had decreed unto it - a full format. I found these two links particularly useful http://www.experts-exchange.com/Web/Web_Servers/IIS/Q_21070770.html[^] http://www.aspfaq.com/show.asp?id=2226[^] Ultimately, I think these commands did the trick for me:
cd %windir%\system32\inetsrv
rundll32 wamreg.dll, CreateIISPackage
regsvr32 asptxn.dllThank you CP and CPians, and G'Day! :) Cheers, Vikram.

Have you tried Autoruns from Sysinternals? It enumerates everything that's set to run automatically on your machine when you boot up including shell extensions and allows you to delete anything quite painlessly, I've used it a number of times now, if anything it saves labourously going through the registry!
