   Hi,   
      
   the -e switch helped me a lot: after installing Win XP (and Paradox 8), all   
   changes I made in "Preferences" were successfully written into Registry.   
   However, at the same time pdoxwork.ini file has been created on exit (almost   
   empty, with 2 lines or so). Next time Paradox started, it did not read the   
   preferences from the Registry, but from this stupid file. I did not find   
   any way how to stop Paradox creating this file, so in the end I made all   
   neccessary changes manually in Registry, and since then I always start Paradox   
   with -e -n switches to ensure that 1) the Registry settings remain unchanged,   
   and 2) pdoxwork.ini is not created anymore.   
      
   No idea about the usability of the -f switch, though.   
      
   Regards,
