Hi all
When I open REGISTRY.VCX from its usual location (in folder FFC), there are no classes present.
I have a good copy elsewhere and when I open it the expected classes are there.
So, I copied the VCX and VCT from the good location to the FFC folder but still opening it from FFC there are no classes present.
The VFP home folder is excluded from virus checking.
I am completely baffled (and very, very frustrated) .

Sounds like it got corrupted/hosed somehow. Glad you've got another copy.

Sounds like you have installed your VFP folder in the \program files\ branch? Don't do that. Never. Never install any VFP DevTools into that folder. You don't have write permissions there, and Windows redirects all writes to the VirtualStore.
Look into %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore\ if you'll find that broken copy there

Vielen danke Jürgen ... Now I can start to remedy the problem (and I'll be taking a look at the link you sent)

I've installed VFP off the root of C since the dawn of time.

I may not have all the details correct, and don't know this year's terminology, but consider "Program Files" to be read-only. Microsoft bans lowly users * from writing to the Program Files location to prevent the spread of malware, and offer something like "Shadow Folders" for users attempts to write there -- your personal version of those files, buried somewhere in User/<your login>/Local FIles or some such hidden nonsense. When this file gets corrupted, finding it, deleting it and getting back to work is not obvious.
Because this switch-er-roo is done transparently at the OS level, you can't see the actual files you are using at the File Explorer level, nor the command line, nor within VFP. This deception, "protecting the user from themselves" is typical paternalistic and poorly-thought-out Microsoft Fred attitude.
It's better, imo, to move any files you plan to use in your project into your project's folders (and into source code control!) and use them from there.
* In microsoft's view, we are all lowly users.
Even better, I see w00dy has posted; follow his advice.
