What compelled you to go into that programme?

Because when the customer sets one of our programs as a service the only way to get it to run as an application again is to change the registry setting from 1 to 0.

Ok, I'm going to be the person to ask: why tell them to spell something "complicated" for the average user? Why not get them to type, "regedit" since on XP they're the same program and on earlier versions of windows they basically do the same thing? I've never understood why people use regedt32 :)

It was 2000, so I tend to use regedt32 so I don't have to try to walk them through the various windows. I found it was easier to deal with the no I thing then the No, not the HKLUser, The HKLM window ..

If you want somebody to spell something correctly, never pronounce it first. Give them the letters one at a time, with a pause between each pair.

I concur.

*facepalm*

OK, all these years, I've been assuming that Regedit32 was an additional install that was just never present on any of the machines I tried to use it on. I always just shrugged my shoulders and used regular regedit instead.

(Sometimes I really live up to my username. *sigh* and when I chose it I thought I was being ironic ...)

*snicker* I suppose next you're going to tell me that it isn't "ipconfigure." ;)

Actually I spelled out "ipconfig" for a guy one time and he actually wrote "ipconfigue." Like "dialog(ue)" or "catalog(ue)" or "monolog(ue)."

HAHA.

Ship a utility that changes this with a click of a button.
Never EVER expect to be able to walk a user through the registry :P.
