Re: Registry

It might be a security program blocking the Registry change it needs to make. A few, but not all, of the programs now doing this are:
Ad-aware's Ad-Watch
IBM Access Connections
McAfee VirusScan and/or Antispyware
Norton AV
Spyware Blaster
Spybot> Tools> IE Tweaks
Spybot- Teatimer
Spysweeper
Spyware Doctor
Windows Defender
Zone Alarm (free) 6.5 Reported to be fixed in later versions.

In the case of Zone Alarm 6.5 or Norton 2007 it actually has to be uninstalled. Make sure the Windows Firewall is turned on until you reinstall Zone Alarm.

Boot into Safe Mode with Networking and try the change.

NOT AT ALL!

You have misread my intention.

Esthetics, pure and simple.

Not at all unusual for neurotics...


"So, you've got a free 'trial' version of a program and you think that by editing your registry you can convert it to the full (i.e. should have been
paid for) version of the program."

Can you be MUCH more descriptive?

Yes "Wow" helps MS-MVP!

I assumed there would be questions about details.

What exactly do you want to know?

It is a Trial program, and it deletes "Trial" as part of the name.

It is still a trial though...
