I have nothing against AutoIt per see but I would not use it in
this case for two reasons:
a) Editing the registry is a delicate matter. Doing it blindly with
pre-recorded keystrokes makes it a dangerous process.
b) AutoIt (and other macro programs) can be tripped up by
unexpected events, e.g. a virus scanner or an Automatic
Update dialog popping up all of a sudden. It happens even
to humans when they hack away at the keyboard without
watching the screen.
