Well, of *course* I know that Macs are different.

But why wouldn't this be a user-changable setting?

I didn't mean to suggest that there was a system registry on the Mac, 
only that there must of necessity to be a structure in the Mac OS similar 
in function to the system registry (a place for storing system settings) 
and, presumable, a UI somewhere for modifying those settings.

If there isn't, well, I don't have anything profitable to say, only 
remarks that would be dismissed as platform bashing.
