Alan -

re: regedit save before alteration

   Thanks for that piece of information.
   I have hacked the registry here and there out of necessity - I've even been 
able to fix things (and screw things up).  The biggest thing about the 
registry is that it just seems like such a cludge.  It feels like it was 
never meant to be what it has become, and now that it's in place nobody can 
find a good way around it - and we're stuck with it.

   But...  I only use Windows either on VMware on top of Linux for the purpose 
of testing software, or on occasion for Windows games - which isn't that 
often.  So thankfully the chances of me hacking the registry is slim.

   The statement "I felt compelled to help" I take to be a very good sign.
   Congratulations, Alan.  :-)  And thanks.  (For that statement, indicative 
of someone helping many people more than myself, and indicative of a giving 
person implementing his ideals)

	- Chris
