The Windows registry

I have my reasons for asking...

[Poll #249431]

That should probably say more about my office than my windows skills, though.

Yes, I think that question is mis-worded - I was thinking of, say, [livejournal.com profile] valkyriekaren's office rather than yours.

Also the first question should have had an option something along the lines of "knee deep in registry tweaking every morning before 8am, mate."

I still think we're miscommunicating. I think I'm the office Windows guru due to the ignorance of those around me, not due to any special skills on my part. Remember this isn't a software company.

Unless I'm misunderstanding you and [livejournal.com profile] valkyriekaren has gone to work for Microsoft.

Yes, I misread your answer, but I don't suppose your office mates are more than averagely ignorant about Windows as a proportion of its user base. Your answer appropriately reflects your expertise.

Goddammit, I don't want to be more of a Windows expert than you!

*Pout*

Heh. If it's any consolation, I'd choose your option if I'd worded the question properly.

Heh. I'm on the "I can get along" rather than "office windows guru" by virtue of working tech support with several people far more windowsguruish than I.

On the other hand I usually screw with the registry via Telnet. Does that net me any points?
