Abstract
Goodearl proved that directly finite right ℵ0-continuous regular rings are unit-regular. In this paper we prove the analogous result for ℵ0-complete regular rings. Also we use this result to prove that complete regular rings of type If are right and left continuous, which answers in a particular case a question of Handelman.
