Possibly, the point is that how do you know that: this particular location within the Policies section of the registry,
EnableAdminTSRemote "...enables administrators to perform installations from Terminal Server client sessions." and Logging turns logging on when it has a value (any string, right?). I'm not saying that adding the lines that Corel sent to the Policies section, you did something that will affect my computer negatively? The point is do you know what it did, and how did you find out just what it did to effect the processes that are run, or permitted to run within that system Essentially, my point is that nobody should assume that the English language connotation of a key or its value actually means/indicates what happens with that value present in that key!
