   Okay, but where can I find any info about it? I mean, you regularly read   
   questions like "xxx does not work" and then the answer is "change key yyy   
   in the registry into zzz". And then I am left wondering: how do these   
   people (including, presumably, you) know this? I am not clairvoyant, and I   
   would be quite willing to RTFM, but I do not know about any FM.
