There are 3 reasons for using the registry.
1. Unfortunately we use third party components that rely on the registry there is nothing we can do about that.

2. Using an external config file makes the settings more vunerable for users who do not know what their doing. So we've hidden them so only advanced users can access them if necessary.

3. It's the official way of storing cofiguration data for an application according to the Windows 9x/XP compilant rules.
