Hi, yes certainly, it wasn't meant to be advice and I probably could have chosen better words but sometimes I can't be bothered to polish such emails. It was my genuine reaction and I included it not to convey a harsh message but rather to set the context I was writing from. As hinted by my first sentence above. Namely that I don't care about Windows or know it in any useful detail, but I wanted to share the other idea in case it turned out to be actually useful even though I had no means to test it or any experience to judge if it was a stupid idea or not. I think that Kaz's suggestion to use an installer is probably a better one, even though that horrifies me even further. An OS where one is compelled use some non-open installer to write entries into an opaque registry, ugh, I don't like it :)
