Listen to Taw, he's right about fiddling with the registry. The only time I'm ever in there is to get rid of something that no longer belongs there, and didn't get deleted when it was supposed to. Or if I have to uninstall a program the hard way. Like Taw has implied, if you don't know what you're doing, you could f**k up your system. If you feel uncomfortable about going into the registry, don't do it. There are utilities out there that can help you with modifying your registry, without worrying about making a mess. Just my two cents worth.
