luv2chill: That makes sense as I stripped out all of the Cyberdial entries from the reg in the default hive. Since my VC16 is enabled/pre-set in the ROM, it’s not removing it. I unfortunatly did it and it explains why it was working in one of my early roms where I was testing different default hive settings (merging VC entires) and just did not see the correlation.
I'll see about creating a branch for the OEM\voice command and add your path statement (and/or pull the default values back in) for this branch. I just assumed different MS VC installs used differing paths since the ap name was the same. Guess I did too through of a job removing the OEM registry entries

So as they say about assuming…
Good catch.
