    Actually, it seems it doesn't just overwrite the registry settings - it
completely recreates them !

    As an experiment (to see if a re-install did, in fact, overwrite the reg
settings - I thought it didn't, but I wasn't sure) I renamed all the items
and sub-folders of the POV-Edit branch and then did a reinstall and my
renamed reg entries completely disappeared !!!
