Sorry you are full of crap. What are you trying to do ---preserve ignorance?
You have no desire to learn? You want to keep the status Quo? Basics is where
you learn. If you want to know how to search the registry, edit the registry
or anything else here is the place to ask. And you are a MVP? You most
certainly ought to be ashamed of yourself. How on earth did you become an MVP?

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.
