Registry Settings
The Newsroom Component (NrC) use (in most cases) remote preview, and is by 
default configured during installation. It is therefore, under normal 
circumstances, no need to change registry settings for the NrC after installation. 
Registry settings should preferably be changed by reinstalling the NrC.
Newsroom Component registry path:
• Windows 32-bit: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\[vizrt]\ActiveX 
5.x\TemplateFiller\
• Windows 64-bit: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\[vizrt]\
