I get curious. When I catch a spare moment, I check those little corners of my system just to see what I can uncover. Sometimes I stumble upon something worthwhile: Most times I don't. This morning, I was snooping in my Registry and found that my system stores rules for making phone calls from several countries. I'm sure everyone else's Windows does too. I can only guess how many resources are wasted. Here's a list of the countries I found. * I've marked those I've never heard of! They should axe their PR people. Afghanistan Albania Algeria American Samoa * Andorra Angola * Anguilla Antigua Argentina Armenia Aruba Ascension Island Australia Australian Antarctic Territory Austria Azerbaijan Bahamas Bahrain Bangladesh Barbados Barbuda * Belarus Belgium Belize * Benin Bermuda * Bhutan Bolivia Bosnia and Herzegovina Botswana Brazil British Virgin Islands Brunei Bulgaria * Burkina Faso Burundi Cambodia Cameroon Canada Cape Verde Islands Cayman Islands Central African Republic Chad Chile China Christmas Island * Cocos-Keeling Islands Colombia * Comoros Congo Congo, Democratic Republic of the Cook Islands Costa Rica Croatia Cuba Cyprus Czech Republic Denmark * Diego Garcia * Djibouti Dominica Dominican Republic Ecuador Egypt El Salvador Equatorial Guinea Eritrea Estonia Ethiopia F.Y.R.O.M. (Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia) B.Y.O.B. (Bring Your Own Bottle -- I couldn't resist adding one of my own!) Falkland Islands Faroe Islands Fiji Islands Finland France French Antilles French Guiana French Polynesia * Gabon Gambia Georgia Germany Ghana Gibraltar Greece Greenland Grenada * Guadeloupe Guam * Guantanamo Bay Guatemala Guinea * Guinea-Bissau Guyana Haiti Honduras Hong Kong SAR, PRC, PMSWF Hungary Iceland India Indonesia * INMARSAT * INMARSAT (Atlantic-East) * INMARSAT (Atlantic-West) * INMARSAT (Indian) * INMARSAT (Pacific) Iran Iraq Ireland Israel Italy Ivory Coast Jamaica Japan Jordan Kazakhstan Kenya * Kiribati Republic Korea (North) Korea (Republic of Korea) Kuwait Kyrgyz Republic * Lao P.D.R.

Cheers, PW.
