First, from what I saw of Outlook's behavior with UUENCODE, I retract any recommendation to use the format if you expect to be able to work with attachments in the future. It's a shame they mucked that standard up so badly in Outlook! The plain text settings are primarily for those who do not want to send HTML or RTF documents by default and do not want their plain text delivered with a peppering of uqual signs and inappropriate digits. I am one such luddite.<g> Dealign with the registry is fairly straightforward and most of the things you can do there will have no bad affect on a system. Incorrectly adding values for an application typically results in a problem localized to that application. That's good! Even though this list is for Office, here's a quick and easy way to manage any change you're about to perform in the registry. 1. Unless you have to set permissions on a registry key, avoid using regedt32. Regedit is a much more tactile environment for straight editing. 2. Remember that any change you make is committed to the registry database immediately and there is no 'undo' in the editor 3. Always back up any key to/under which you are about to make a change. A. Highlight the key or value you are about to change B. From the File menu, choose Export. C. Make sure the file type is set to .REG files (these are text files that can also be automagically merged back into the database) D. Give the new export a descriptive name so you know where/what for this entry served If you have to restore one of these backups, you simply double click on it from within Windows Explorer and answer the questions it asks. Do remember that if you have added an entry or key that didn't exist before, merging the backup back into the registry will not remove your new entry. That will have to be manually removed from within regedit. A DWORD entry is a hexadecimal entry (in other words, it's value is not text based) represented in binary (i.e., with 0's and 1's). To add a new DWORD: 1. Highlight the key to which the new DWORD will be added 2. From the Edit menu, choose New-> DWORD value 3. Type in the name of the new DWORD entry and press Enter 4. Double click the new entry and set its value 5. Close regedit 6. Close and restart the application whose registry keys you've modified. That should get you by. If you need additional help, feel free to contact me offlist unless Linda decides that this isn't too far OT. Hope that helps!
