Yes, yes it does. But until a few moments ago I didn't know about this
newfangled thingy called regshortcut but I bet that's probably pretty much
as slow as the other as it probably has to go through the keys as well. If
they'd stated what they wanted a bit more clearly I'd have recommended that
they make a simple regedit file to make the changes themselves that way.
It's easy enough if you KNOW what you're going to change (such as a value
from (1) to (0) for instance.
I seem to recall lavasoft having a handy dandy reg tool but now that this
idea has occurred to me I'm going to go ahead and dig for more information
on the subject and probably will post my finding somewhere public though
they may end up in the DTS group for their review first.
I wonder if a nice handy Delphi app would be able to do this quickly and
easily.
This, of course, makes me reasonably excited and means it something good for
me to research and find new information about and hopefully will be able to
find a nice answer suitable for a FAQ posting when I get around to that...
I need to take the next week off and set it up so that I could just
concentrate on some much needed labor of love.
