Navigate to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\

Hi,

I opened Registry to the point u pointed and changed values according to
your advice but It did not work. I know DOS and am easy with tweaking
Registry safely but Windows does not seem to obey its own commands or
settings in its Registry.

Any other advice plz.
