Process Explorer : Vertical Scroll bar (scrollbar) gone

I *think* I lost mine, because I accidentally ressurected an older version of procexp.exe/procexp64.exe by restoring my utilities folder on my laptop one day.

 

Process explorer seemed to be working, accept that I could not scroll down (using mouse or PgUp/PgDn keys) past the window's visible processes!  As you can imagine, this makes procexp almost unusable.

 

Frustrated, I perused the web, help, landed in this forum and still no answers.

 

Well, I did find in the FAQ the location in the registry where Sysinternals stores its settings.

 

So, I just stopped running procexp64.exe/procexp.exe and all other sysinternals tools (temporarily) then using regedit, I deleted the entire "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sysinternals" location from the registry.

 

Then you simply run procexp.exe, and viola, the EULA appeared (always does the first time you run it, if the registry key(s) is/are not found)...

 

Bingo!!!   VERTICAL SCROLLBAR IS BACK!  Whew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

(I would have reinstalled my entire laptop software to fix this if necessary!  Good thing flushing the registry toilet fixed it. )
