          Just curious (eager to learn) - can you mention what your method was - it'd be most interesting.  Just basic details.

            Editing registry entries isn't a friendly environment to learn but I'll outline what i did.

            I'm using EmergeDesktop a Windows Shell replacement. I wanted to pass the command line argument 'hide' to emerge.exe when it was loaded as shell. Looking through the documentation i found where the registry entries where kept and what they were.

            CMD > regedit. HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > EmergeDesktop

            right clicked the entry i wanted to modify, clicked modify, entered the argument.

            rebooted to make sure it worked.

            Thank you - I hadn't earlier realized this was a shell replacement.

            I am fairly familiar with registry but as ever treat it with great respect!  :)
