Sorry for the delay response, but your location didn't have it (at least nothing I saw). However, other searching, I noticed MS was storing a bunch of items using UNICODE storage, so you could never do a search on http: as it would be stored as 0x?? 0x00 0x?? 0x00, etc..

Why so complex storage on something so simple... can't MS give us a search option to search for such UNICODE format data and we put in the simple string and they build the necessary conversion behind the scenes...
