This is the only working solution! I tried the other solutions (ie, regedit.exe,
change this key, that key,) and they don't apply or don't work. I had to create
a "dummy" account to get this to work, but just copied the registry key and then
deleted my key and replaced it with the "dummy" accounts' key. WORKED GREAT! Then
all I had to do was delete the "dummy" account, since I only need one account on
my computer. Thanks alot!
