Hello, TOM.

From experience, messing with that low level of a setting on a functioning 
Windows installation is like throwing a hand grenade in a car: there's going 
to be damage.  Just because you CAN do it doesn't mean you should.

Yeah, it's not for the atypical Windows user either.  As has been said before, 
just because you can do something like that doesn't mean it will work.  
Windows will break.  I've had customers who didn't listen to me then paid me 
$65 an hour to undo the damage they did, generally by having to reinstall 
Windows and wipe their hard drive completely.

It's amazing how much money you can make off of Windows users who think they 
know how Windows works...and then break it irrevocably. :)

Later,
Sean
