That being said I always clean mine up, but Im kinda quirky about organized computers...funny because my office is a mess, but my computers are always exactly how i want them

Also there is ALWAYS the rule of "you break it you buy it..." cutting into the registry is half science, half art...not every programmer follows the rules, not ever company puts their stuff in the right spot, and some hide it on purpose. You can ALWAYS Export the settings before you cut them...of course if you mess up too deep you can't get back to a registry editor to fix it. (having a safemode program helps but even thats not fool-proof)

hope that helps,

That helps a lot actually. I'm really trying to gain more knowledge about what I'm doing. Wich I could pick your brain for awhile. One of things I am really trying to figure out right now is how to hack into the Touchflo Scroll settings. I love the way finger scrolling works with PocketPlus 4 and I want the Touchflo to work the same way. I have looked thru the registry, but have no idea way to tweak.
