Hi The switch I am setting modifies windows behavior. The switch I am using allows windows to activate a window on a mouseover, kind of like unix does. In other words the window currently under the mouse get focus and is brought forward. So I modify the switch and until I do a log off/on the windows behavior is not modified. This is why I think I need some sort of mechanism to refresh the registry or the windows shell. Thanks Marc "Remy Lebeau \(TeamB\)" <gambit47.no.spam@no.spam.yahoo.com> wrote: > >"Marc" <remove_bukwheat@axess.com> wrote in message >news:3ffdcd22$1@newsgroups.borland.com... > >> I have a windows registry key that I modify, then for >> the new setting to become active I need to do log off/on. > >Not true.
