Ahhhhh. Once again Microsoft strikes with the registry.
In fact, the registry is where most technical problems
start and end on the Wintendo platform. What absolutely
amazes me is that Microsoft sells the registry as a
technology that was designed to help the IS department(s)
and the user(s). In fact, the only purpose of the 
registry is obsfucation of the code base to windows
as well as the API's to other products such as Word 
that Microsoft deems as to valuable to disclose.

The registry is nothing more than a tool of obsfucation
and the only winner is Microsoft. Users and IS professionals
end up BIG LOSERS.
