If an invalid or corrupt registry is suspected, you can start Visual FoxPro
without invoking the Windows registry settings.
For example, use the following steps in Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0:
1. On the Start menu, click Run.
2. Enter the path to a Visual FoxPro program: C:\VFP50\VFP.EXE -A
3. Click OK.
Use the following steps in Windows NT 3.51 using Visual FoxPro 5.0:
1. On the File menu, click Run.
2. Enter the path to a Visual FoxPro program: C:\VFP50\VFP.EXE -A
3. Click OK.
NOTE: In the preceding example, your registry settings are not invoked upon
Visual FoxPro startup.
