A few days ago I blogged about the updated SQL books online (December 2005). Unfortunately I discovered it completely breaks your 'Managment Studio Express CPT' and the only way to fix it is by renaming/deleting a registry key. Really stupid if you ask me!
To get 'Managment Studio Express' working again you have to delete or rename the registry key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Shell].
This effectively break SQL books online for SQL Server Express again. To restore it you have to replace the registry key. It means you cannot use both application at the same time.
This sucks heavily!! Please fix it Microsoft!
