    Seems an odd MS page this one:

    But if you thought the Scripting Guys would applaud the TweakUI team, you thought wrong. As it turns out, the Scripting Guys are shallow and petty. It bothers us that more people have downloaded TweakUI than have downloaded the original WMI Scriptomatic. (And don’t even get us started on the fact that more people play Age of Mythology than write scripts using the ADSI Scriptomatic.) We admit it: we’re jealous, and we vowed to do anything we could to topple TweakUI as Microsoft.com’s most popular download.




    Warning Don’t ever change a value in the registry. Ever. We know we just told you to do that, but would you jump off a cliff if we told you to? Don’t ever change a value in the registry. Don’t even say the word registry. We know a guy once who said the word registry, and three days later he was hit by a bus. True story. As a matter of fact, you shouldn’t even have a registry on your computer. If you suspect that you do have a registry on your computer, please call us and a trained professional will be dispatched to your office to remove the registry immediately. If you accidentally touch the registry, wash your hands with soap and water and call a doctor. Do not swallow the registry or get it in your eyes!
    Now, to be honest, some of those fears are a bit exaggerated, and the disclaimer is there largely for legal reasons (remember, this is the day and age when you can order hot coffee in a restaurant, and then sue the restaurant when the coffee they give you turns out to be, well, hot). If you do it correctly, changing the registry is perfectly harmless. At the same time, however, it’s true that there are certain values in the registry that should never be changed; in fact, changing them can pretty much wipe your computer out, once and for all. It’s like working on the bomb squad: if you snip the right wire, the bomb is defused and everything is fine. But if you snip the wrong one—Boom! You just created Microsoft Bob!

    Um, not that we’re saying Microsoft Bob was a bomb or anything ….
