adding OLE object handling to registry?

When you get to that, a key which I highly expect you'd want
to ensure has "success" status, it's this one:

HKCR\Interface\{0000010E-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}

Just now I put the CSLID number itself (not the whole key, because of
variations in how it's presented, eg hklm\software\classes\cslid\...)
as the search item for groups.google.com and www.google.com.

00000320-0000-0000-C000-000000000046

The results I am seeing look promising! Probably better if you use peruse
the results directly yourself, to locate the right solution. You'll see
reg entries for the ole actions are discussed, and the several ole* dlls
that need to be verified/reinstalled/reregistered, they're listed.

The key you mentioned I have. I did have a look at the search results
though, and then some...
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/com/htm/ofn_oa2k_84px.asp

I give up... I'm going to go w/o, and if there is a next time, I won't
install 98lite to see if I get the necessary reg entries, or whatever.

Thank you Karen S. What part of the world do you live in?

Installing MDAC v2.8 did not fix ability to drag and drop txt and htm
files to personalbrain. Installing MS Office 97 did fix ability to drag
and drop images. That's a lot of crapola to install just for this
function, but investigation has taken precedence.

The packages vaguely in my mind were whichever seemed to contained OLE
libraries (w the associated registry updates), particularly including
files like ole2.dll, ole32.dll, olepro32.dll, oleaut.dll.

http://download.microsoft.com/download/vb60pro/Redist/sp5/WIN98Me/EN-US/vbrun60sp5.exe
http://activex.microsoft.com/controls/vb6/OLEAUT.CAB
http://www.microsoft.com/com/dcom/dcom98/dcom1_3.asp

I haven't investigated if oleaut.cab is redundant, whether just installing
the latest visual basic runtimes (vbrun60sp5.exe) takes care of things. I've
observed no-harm effect with the checking routines of packages like those
above from MSFT, though. They do not replace with older files and backstep
one's regentries (in contrast to ever-nasty installers thrown together by
random programmers).
Installing MS Office 97 did fix ability to drag and drop images.

Glancing at the setup list files, and the os\system dir on my Office97 CD,
I see how it makes sense that this would serve as a quick fix. And yes
hey it is VERY GOOD NEWS Stacey!

You might still, later on, at least run the latest vb runtime package,
even if it's only related in part to files involved. It's something you'll
have to do routinely anyway, if installing obnoxious softwares that replace
those DLLs and screw up your regentries.

Yes, it is. The more common way to go is where you reinstall Windows on top,
as an update. I've read that there is supposed to be some sort of "most
conservative" way to do such an update, special parameters or something,
which tells Windows it's only supposed to check base files and reg entries.

Just I have never done that one. When I do even the mildest thing similar
to that with MSFT products, they totally disrespect all my paths and
settings. Create a bunch of annoying folders with long, ugly names (eg
"c:\windows\Temporary Internet Files"). Sneak obscene objects onto my
desktop, which say things like "Sign up with MSN Now!" Try to sneak
Outhouse into my C drive. Etc etc.

So, a recourse like "Update" or "Repair" of MSFT products, it might work
for others all the time -- but for me, it would be the Last Recourse. It's
just too annoying, both the ugliness of the offenses themselves, and then
the clean-up activities afterwards.

And, Stacey, consolation. At least it was only Office97 which was the crapola
you had to install. I tell you, that product is pure and saintly, compared
to what came afterwards. Office2000 is a thoroughly polluted -- by its
riptide integration of the MSI squid-monster.

I copy most application folders to another drive, uninstall the program
(TUN) and run them from the new location... then stick in the files the
executable says it's missing into its folder until the app runs... I've
got all kinds of apps running like that. It's a pleasure to copy
everything over to a brand spanking new OS, which I've been doing more
of lately. As for my system... I don't care... if it gets too bad I've
got a copy of the entire c:\windows and subfolders, plus the files in
the root of c:\, back when it was just installed (all the exhorbitant
115 Mb worth).

I think there is a freeware app called Guid Clean for taking that stuff
out of documents (did I miss the ball here?).
