Yes. I used notepad to write the file. I wasn't sure if I should include the REGEDIT
4 line, so I tried it with and without. Apparently neither one worked since I got
the same error message about it not being a registry file.
Thanks for your tips about TWEAK. However I don't have a multiple user platform
so that is no problem. Unless you mean an AOL account with several screen names.
Is that a multiple user platform? But I will add this precaution if I send the
procedure to friends.
And not sure what the problem is about keeping a list of changes.
Couldn't find your email address to write you privately. I assume you know how to
find mine. It is lenedith@bigfoot.com.
I am in Freeport, Bahamas for the winter.
