[WriteLog] Telnet: Can't create packet OLE Automation Object

[Don Hill AA5AU]

Uploaded printable page on searching and editing the system registry
(this is for Win95, Win98 & Win2000).  I don't if it's done the same way
with XP or NT.  I'd like to know though, if someone out there can educate me.
