Andrew, it is definitely a requirement for some applications.
However, it would not be surprising if applications overtime have made
themselves independent of the registry entry.
I do know that to view my plane 1 example web page with IE, the registry
needed to be set on both win 2k and win xp.

If I get some time later I'll play with unsetting it and see what
happens now.
