    I never said editing registry files is “common sense”, but in the grand scheme of things it’s very simple and, yes, quite idiot-proof (go here and here, create file this and that, set value to 1). That may count as pro to some but I’m pretty sure it’s not enough to actually work with Linux (which one of my family members uses so I see it in practice).

    Besides, considering this comment

    Most of those registry keys are not documented, and it’s very hard to be completely sure about what you are touching.

    Maybe it’s precisely the fact that I’m brazenly tinkering with registry files that renders me not-as-pro as some might think.

      The not-as-common-sense part was referring to knowing how to look stuff up online, I think. Many people just kinda… Don’t.
