Why do people still use such a bad practice of cluttering people's registry by storing a standard value when there hasn't been any change in that value (it's the standard/default one)? What's wrong with having a default value just in memory?

function isEnabled() {
    try {
        var val = Shell.RegRead(RegPath)
    } catch(err) {
        var val = 1
    }
    return (val != 0)
}

the rest looks almost perfect though (except for Messenger.MyUserID instead of Messenger.MyEmail (security reasons), and a very few tiny things which could be done a bit more shorter/directly)
