PS I have tried the following with no joy ??

1. Run Regedt32.exe and open your local registry.

2. Make HKEY_USERS the active window, and select
Registry|Load Hive...

3. Navigate to the %WIN%\Profiles\Default User
folder and select NTUSER.DAT.

4. When prompted for the key name, enter (in lower
case to differentiate from the .DEFAULT hive
that's already there), and click OK.

5. Make the change you need to and then completely
collapse the branch when done.

6. With the default key highlighted, select
Registry|Unload Hive
