Dave,

Having just done it, it occurred to me that, when I suggested you back up your 
registry before editing it, I failed to advise you of the easiest way to do it. 
You don't need a backup program or need to save the entire system state.  Enter 
regedit, then at the top of the screen click on File/Export.  When asked where 
and what, select your Desktop as the save to location and then enter "backup" 
as 
the file name.  Click save and you'll see a link on your desktop.  If you 
double 
click on it, you will be asked if you really want to restore the registry. 
Quick and easy.  Hope this helps.

  Dave-
  Not really.  Just find the key, delete it, hit F3 to find the next entry, 
etc. 
Shouldn't take more than 15 minutes.

    So I noticed.  I did a quick check with regedit last night just to see how
    many reg entries there were for writelog.... a "pot load" more or
    less.  Looks like deleting all those registry entries is a nasty job.
