It is true that the method of solution is a matter of choice for the individual.

With best way solution I meant that using the command prompt method you: (1) Do not need to have an internet connection to download the fix file.
(2) If one uses the registry key removal method on a longtime-running pc, that pc's registry is likely to have been flooded over time with keys (in the appropriate classes submaps) to confuse or scare off people who don't like to "mess" in the registry.

Hope to be of help again in the future. Hoorah for your forum :-)
