I only have a moment, but I will say - be careful! Modifying the registry can totally stuff up Windows if you don't know what you're doing.

(I don't know whether VB's savesetting etc are dangerous or not, as I don't recall what they do. This warning just applies to playing with the registry in general.)

Anyway, stay tuned. I'm sure you'll get some useful links and info posted here.
