Running PWB with settings from both INI file and Registry

I would like to run PWB v2.06 so that some basic settings come from an INI file while others come from the Windows registry. My understanding from the documentation is that this should be possible and that the last location's setting takes precedence. Unfortunately, the settings I put in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\TeamSoftware Solutions\Public Web Browser v2\...... do not seem to take effect. I know this because I am specifiing a different homepage in the HomePage registry key than the one in the INI file. I think I'm missing something. Any advice would be appreciated.

Check to make sure the user has to have read/write permission to the registry key.

Verify the correct path in the registry.

Here is a registry export to set the home page to Yahoo.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\TeamSoftware Solutions\Public Web Browser v2\Browser]
"HomePage"="http://www.yahoo.com"
