Dear Bros,

Was getting a little irritated whenever I soft-reset my mini, cos the default input method is the 'Keyboard' and I am a 'Letter Recogniser' guy. No more space to install those registry tweaking programs so I thought I would prefer to do it manually.

Warnings:
- It is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO BACKUP your ppc beforehand, bcos any single mistake u enter into your registry for your input method is likely to cause ALL your input methods to be unrecognised = have to hard-reset.
- I insist u check your values SEVERAL TIMES to check if its correct, before u tap 'ok' and soft-reset your device (mistakes irreversible after that except hard-resetting).

1) To make 'Letter Recogniser' Default:
i) Open your registry editor (PHM, Resco, etc).
ii) Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip
iii) Change DefaultIm's string value to {42429690-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9}
iv) Soft-reset.

2) To make 'Block Recogniser' Default:
i) Open your registry editor (e.g. PHM, Resco, etc).
ii) Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip
iii) Change DefaultIm's string value to {42429691-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9}

the simpler & very convenient way is to use registry hacking softwares like Tweaks2k2 or PocketTweak
i would recommend PocketTweak (for this particular purpose) cos it lists down all the input methods available in your ppc & it's a freeware!
