IRL this "not always" is never, but your utility is irrelevant. You 
can keep making up possible problems with all of my systems and you 
don't have to improve your apps, but all I was pointing out is that my
steps will at least match, and improve, the results.

My already reproduced steps have nothing to do with whatever weird 
condition you're trying to add now. You haven't even tried to find out
any INI file difference, if any.

I'm not sure an improvement from a possible 0 out of 6 to 6 out of 6 
is pointless to users, but apparently you think it is. But you are 
still overlooking that I was POSTING a solution here, instead of 
REQUESTING some change. Your utility may not even be required, because
in the past was able to (accidently) fix it without it. Initially I 
didn't even mention your specific utility.

 > I don't understand you completely.

Obviously, but I'll help to not make up problems then. And face the 
fact that your utility doesn't solve the problem. I wasn't discussing 
your utility. I wasn't attacking your utility. Don't make up 
conditions I should suddenly meet.. Don't make up problems with (all 
of) my systems. Try asking questions if you don't understand 
something. Don't bother me with claiming that documenting an improved 
solution is just pointlessly bumping up a version number. I'll try to 
care less. Again, I was POSTING a solution here (and a few other 
newsgroups you've suddenly deleted). Bark up the right tree if you 
want to discuss an utility which you probably aren't going to improve.
Thank you for writing the utility. And thank you for mentioning that 
you don't understand me completely, but next time don't try to fill in
the gaps you think I left behind. And yes, I really hoped your final 
version of the utility would because I don't remember how to fix it 
without any utility.

Finally the honest suggestion to change the documentation wasn't the 
industry's insult of changing the documentation instead of broken 
software. Based on the assumption that my steps have to be executed 
just once, I think it's pretty useless to make an utility which 
toggles a simple setting twice. That's why I POSTED a (better) 
solution here, instead of relying on you to release a so-called 
"pointless" version. So far nobody challenged my solution (without 
making up problems or checking anything, that is), so it'll be solved.
Just th eutility didn't solve it.
