NOTE: Before trying this tip, make sure you backup your registry or create a windows  restore point prior to making any changes to the registry.  If your not confident in using the registry then I recommend that you don't try this at home.   I define the registry as being the main central nervous system of the computer and any incorrect changes to the registry can cause major computer malfunctions.
