Hi

If you hadn't noticed, this is the Basics News Group. Your suggestion about knowing how to manually edit the Registry is absolute rubbish. More harm can be done to a system 'fiddling' about in the Registry than using Control Panel as advised. 'Exporting' the Registry via regedit is also bad advise as numerous hives aren't exported.

Until you have some good advise for this Basics News Group, keep it to yourself.
