    Here 
      are some Delphi tips which I want to remind myself of from time to time. 
      They might even come in handy for others too. 
       
       
      
      
        -   Remove the welcome page (Delphi 2005): 
 
           
          1. in the registry, go to  
          HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Borland\BDS\3.0\Known IDE Packages 
          2. remove the data for "$(BDS)\Bin\startpageide90.bpl"  
       
       
       
        -  Remove .NET dependency (Delphi 2005): 
 
           
          Got it from this 
          webpage. 
           
          The .NET modules appear under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Borland\BDS\3.0\Known 
          IDE Packages], in form of packages that themselves load other modules 
          if necessary. To disable each package, just delete its Data.  
           
          Modules that require .NET (and therefore must be disabled): 
          [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Borland\BDS\3.0\Known IDE Packages] $(BDS)\Bin\caliberide90.bpl 
           
          $(BDS)\Bin\soapide90.bpl  
          $(BDS)\Bin\asmview90.bpl  
          $(BDS)\Bin\dbkdebugproide90.bpl  
          $(BDS)\Bin\TGIDE90.BPL  
          $(BDS)\Bin\compro90.bpl  
       
        
      
       
       
      
      
        -   Delphi will lock all executable files it uses while debugging. 
          Only closing the Delphi IDE will unlock them
 
       
        
       
       
      
      
        -   To enable or disable "Code Folding", press CTRL + 
          SHIFT and then (while holding those) first K and then O
