I did indeed use a registry key monitor and the only keys that changed
in the hive were the SQM keys.


Even if you find it, however, I'd be very surprised if a registry key export
and import would preserve the value.
Yeah, I might break everything by poking around. I suspect the
registry is intentionally difficult to follow to deter piracy and
protect trade secrets. It's a bit flakey, though and I'd hoped that
Vista might have made it more robust.

Anyhow, I have my desired result now by re-organizing my webmail as
you suggested so, again thanks for your help.
