I would be very, very, very careful about editing the registry.
If you don't know what you are doing, you can really cause yourself a lot of
headaches up to and including making your computer unusable.

In pre-Vista Systems
--- Click on the start button
--- Select Run
--- Type RegEdit into the Open box
--- Click OK
--- You are now in a dangerous place. Follow the instructions VERY carefully.

Thank you,

Please forgive my ignorance, but what is pre-Vista Systems ?

Operating systems older than Vista, which is to say Windows XP and earlier
operating systems.

Pardon my saying so, but if you need to ask that, editing the registry may
be something you should leave alone. At the very least you must read and
fully understand all instructions for editing the registry before you type a
single keystroke. If you are not positive that you understand, do not
proceed.
