Yes, that's probably the method of choice. Having this as a check box in the Free42 / Plus42 preferences is nice when it works, but the problem, as far as I'm aware, is that Microsoft has never formally documented which registry keys to edit to make this kind of customization. At some point they did something in international or multilingual versions of Windows, where certain parts of the registry were localized, adding another level of keys somewhere, and at that point, trying to set AppKey\18 programmatically became a somewhat nondeterministic process... I have the feeling I should just remove this feature and be done with it.
