I stand by what i said, i most generally when it comes to mtu, do not allow registry changes, i try not to with any program. However if it will not operate unless i do, i make an exception. Not trying to tell you your business, but your theory is not true with all programs. Also, i have had programmers follow actions and decide marketing through not only cookies, which i also do not allow, but registry changes as well. You are simply being naive if you don't think so. The good folks on the Dell Computer Forum have a slightly different point of view on tracking cookies and registry changes then you do i'm afraid dale. And i tend to agree with them for the most part. Like i said, not trying to tell you your business. Now how did the whitehouse get my email address about health care reform again...lol
