IE Printing Registry Values

I need some way to set the proper registry value for "Print Background Colors and Images" located in the Internet Explorer Tools -> Internet Options ->Advanced area.

I've used every kind of reg monitor product I can find to see what it is changing and I can't see any difference in the whole key from checked to unchecked.. Does anyone have any ideas for me?

I might have found it on my own with setting

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AdvancedOptions\PRINT\BACKGROUND\CheckedValue to "Yes"..

We'll see!

Odd. This seems to work on XP but no matter what you set the "Print background colors and images" to in the IE settings it will forever print the background colors and images in the future.

Setting that reg value in W2K seems to have no effect at all.

If anyone has any ideas I'd love to hear them!
