r2d2 , your comment about MUST have merge is false.
you don't need any merging when you have kixtart.
if you want to keep on merging, fine.
but others are fine with kixtart writevalue() and addkey()
sparko, you should indeed invest in poledit.
with w2k and XP you can't write to the keys you want without admin rights.
