What I'd like to know is, how can I keep Windows from messing with my

Well, if you *didn't* boot into Windows once in a blue moon...  more

Tis the same info I just posted to the list on this question. though using 00000001 is no longer considered to be the proper way in regedit. You just want 1. The way I posted has worked for me since XP and currently even on 7 and 8.
