from the Windows Registry.
Regsvr32.exe is set up in your Windows System folder by Microsoft Internet
Explorer version 3.01 or later. You can also obtain a stand-alone copy of
the file from Microsoft's download services. For information about
downloading Regsvr32.exe, please see the following article in the Microsoft
Knowledge Base:

Follow these steps to remove the Registry keys:
| 1. | In Microsoft Windows 95 or Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, click the Start
button on the Taskbar, and then click Run.
In Microsoft Windows NT 3.51, start Program Manager or File Manager, and
then click Run on the File menu.
|
| 2. | Type a command to unregister the drivers you want to remove, and then
press ENTER. The /u command-line switch for Regsvr32.exe unregisters the
driver. The following table shows each driver and the command to
unregister the driver. Substitute the path and file name for
Regsvr32.exe and the driver DLL file on your computer, both of which are
in your Windows System folder by default.

is used as a line-continuation character. Remove the underscore from the
