! Always record settings before changing them.
! Always backup a file before you edit it.
! Always have a recent, pristine, backup of the Registry.
! Always have a working boot disk that gives access to your CD-ROM drive.
! Always make only one tweak at a time.

Should you be unsure of your ability to correctly, and safely, implement any alteration,
then you SHOULD NOT make that change. Get the assistance of a user who is both
experienced and competent. Please remember that you alone are responsible for
the consequences of any changes you make to your computer hardware or software.
