regedt32 or regedit for XP?

| There was a question about which command starts registry editor in
Windows XP on measureup. I selected the regedt32 (in MM's book it
states the NT/2000/XP have regedt32) command as my answer; however the
practice test on Measureup implies that I have to use the regedit
command. What is the deal?

The REGEDIT program in Windows XP now includes the capabilities of
Windows 2000's REGEDIT + REGEDT32. Typing "REGEDT32" does work in XP,
but it's just a stub that loads REGEDIT.EXE. To confirm this, compare
the file sizes of the two.
So, the most "correct" answer would be REGEDIT in XP and depending on
the question for 2000 (search-use REGEDIT, permissions-use REGEDT32),
either REGEDIT or REGEDT32.

basicly it's down to the feature of having control over permissions
REGEDT32 was the reg editer in NT 3.xx
regedit is from win9x
regedit is now the norm, but up until winxp it had no permissions control,
hence the old regedt32 program still hanging around
i'v never had to use the permission controls in regedit ever though
