To my knowledge, the "wordpad engine" doesn't correlate to any actual component within windows.

I haven't looked into getting chervs notes working yet, but these are my guesses for places to look:

- Turn off support for the items listed within the OS
- Create the appropriate dword values within the right registry keys
- Find an obscure 3rd party app to alter these functions (similar to the transparent window tweak app)

Dunno, but someone might figure it out. I'm not working on it personally... Maybe I will eventually once the tweaks settle out, if that happens before PCM05 points are disabled. Right now, advancement is too quick to keep up with (subtests jumping by orders of magnitude - audio encoding, 500K TW), and I don't want to spend time figuring out tweaks that will be smashed next week - once I get caught up with a lot of 2d and 3d benches I need to get done, I will probably revisit pcm05 and see where things stand. When I was submitting in Jan/Feb, top globals were within reach with the right hardware and a few tweaks... Much tougher competition now.

There's no such component as "wordpad engine" in exact. You just didn't follow the idea of CherV. What she was trying to tell is that despite FMpad being a different exe file from wordpad, it does use the same engine - what's behind the .exe which is only a GUI.

Pretty much like iexplore.exe is not the whole IE and not even the most part of it (surprise? ). But setting that are altered in Wordpad do change the wordpad backbone/engine settings meaning they do alter the settings at which FMpad runs the test.

She gives you food. Don't make her picking up the fork pinching the food and put it in your mouth - at least make some efforts. Or we're gonna end whining until you get a "Tweak PCMark05" button?

Didn't check the tweak yet - I don't use Win7 regularly so it's just my guess.

Nope... CherV's tweak is not something you can set by opening a wordpad document and saving some settings.

- There is no option to enable/disable RTF or Unicode within Wordpad.
- You can set the search options to watch whole case and search whole word, but those settings are not persistent.
- There is no option to disable error reporting by Wordpad.

CherV's tweak is either a program that makes those settings persistent or a registry tweak (I'm leaning towards this one as I have found the section of the registry that pertains to WordPad, but I can't find the DWORDs to use).

Which makes it even more interesting and fun to find

I know about Jarte... Still trying to figure out a way to make it work so that the TE score gets affected.

I guess registry is key. Anyone tried to just delete anything related to rtf and unicode?
