Why I asked is that every time you fork out of kixtart, you are slowing things down. So, when you call regedit, when you call visual basic, it slows things down. Kixtart was made to edit the registry. So, you should be able to do whatever is being done by OutlookDefaultFonts.reg natively in kixtart. Likewise, you should be able to do Outlook signatures natively in kixtart. Many references to that on the site.
