And better yet, put it into HKEY_CURRENT_USER instead of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE so that if more than one user uses the PC, each can customize as he desires. But I kind of wanted it to be controlled through code in the .emacs file and not in the registry, because that way I have portability if I take my emacs installation elsewhere. I don't have to remember to import a reg file if I take it to a PC in the lab, or at a customer site.
