Aye, im hail from dos days, am familiar with regedit too, did all
those, in fact, the 1st thing I do is uninstall and reinstall..

Guess I would have to just go back to plain old hex edit, took

In fact I had modified some of the text to suit my playing mood, but
I will refrain from saying more, as I know KoDP is not my baby and
the father might feel offended when we corrupted the upbringing of
the adolescents har har
