Have you manually verified that the registry reflects the changes the .reg file made?
And since we sometimes miss the obvious - have you rebooted?

Right-click the key you're trying to modify in Regedit and see if you have the necessary permission.
I faced this problem recently though I'm admin on my PC, it may be caused by one of MS's recent security fixes.

Thats funny, because guess what, Schumi does race in an automatic !! F1 cars don't have a stick shift, they ahve paddle shifters that control an auto transmission, except it doesn't have a torque converter but is a manual gear linkage with an electronic clutch. There is no way a manual transmission can ever match its performance, response time and reliability.

Well technically, the transmission is semi-automatic.

And the driver does initiate gear changes. Meet me halfway here, Angelina!

There's a trend with MS to go the "we know what's good for you and you don't really get to decide" way. A prime example is the way Windows is heading. I'd compare it to taking away a manual gear shift car and replacing it with an automatic transmission. While this pleases the masses, it's especially hard for those who have mastered the manual shift and miss that edge & freedom in performance. You aren't likely to see Schumi racing an automatic.  :P

I rolled back to Office 2003 and feel relieved. To each their own I guess. Just hope MS gives people like me an option to use the old interface in future versions so everyone can be happy.

I'd even consider Open Office in the future but I've heard that it's really sluggish as of now. Office 2003 feels so light and I didn't have any complaints regarding the speed of Office 2007 either.
