Glenn,
Look at the 18th charachter in the string. It is a 2.
Yes, but the 18th character is not extracted by Right($BigString, 1)!!! 
What I was pointing out was that I got much more data in the string than you first indicated, so Right(string, 1) may not work, but SubStr($String, 18, 1) might.
Also, when I ran RegMon on the Vista Business system, the registry updated immediately when I enabled or disabled QL, yet the value from Vista Ultimate did not change between tests.
Glenn
