I'm sorry, but I am strongly against the new behavior.

I've made a choice on my computer to run WLM in Vista Compatibility mode and no-one should change it without my authorization.

I strongly suggest that the installer be modified to include a dialog box to let the user choose to reset the settings or not, but at the end of the day, this should be a user's choice, not a choice forced over by a software developer.

Patchou, you've already been grilled for this in the past. I cannot believe you've made that mistake again.

ANY CHANGES IN THE USER'S CONFIGURATION CONCERNING OTHER SOFTWARE THAN MSGPLUS SHOULD BE LEFT AT THE USER'S DISCRETION AND NOT FORCED UPON THEM BY A DEVELOPER.

Isn't that simple to understand?

I don't care about the slow-downs or other reason. Explain it in a dialog box and let the user take a decision. If they decide to let the setting be, well, they've been warned.
