Can I enter weather city information via registry?

[scott51]

I cannot get the weather information to download, I keep getting the Exception System Net.WebException error.  Is it possible to enter the information via the registry and if so how and what information should I enter?  I am connected and have disabled my firewall.

A couple of words on weather...

Apparantly, TP does a parse of the MSNBC weather site. This is hard coded into the app, can't be changed as of now.

You can enter cities to subscribe to weather info directly into the registry. You'll neen to ensure that the variable for the number of cities (I believe it is numcities matches the number of city entries you have. This erntry is under HKCU\Software\SRSSoft\TodayPlus\var

To add a city directly into the registry (using PHM RegEdit).

- Navigate to HKCU\Software\SRSSoft\TodayPlus\city

- select Edit -> New String Value

- Under Value Name, select the next number in sequence for cities. It his is you first city, the vlaue name is 1; third city would be 3, etc.

- Under Value Data, enter the following information in this precise format:

[time between updates],[zip code or weather id code],[City name],[type of temperature measurement]

For me, Everett WA is city #1. Hence my registry entry looks like the attached jpg (RegHack2). Try it ans see...and remeber, no embedded spaces at the end of the line.
