Use TWEAKUI to remove the entries u don't need. U cannot just add entries easily, u need to tweak registry. Better reinstall the application which will create entry in new, itself.

DENVERâ€"After jousting from afar for months, Barack Obama and Mitt Romney will meet Wednesday night in one of their last best chances to sway undecided voters and solidify support among the party faithful.

For 90 minutes beginning at 9 p.m. EDT, the presidential candidates will share a stage at the University of Denver, laying out their ideas about domestic issues. The first of three televised presidential debates will heavily emphasize the economy, with both men trying to persuade voters that they understand their struggles and can improve the economic landscape in the next four years.

Wednesday's presidential debate will give President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney one of their last, best shots at winning over an ever-dwindling number of uncommitted voters. Colleen McCain Nelson and Neil King have details on The News Hub. Photo: AFP/GettyImages.

The campaigns have prepared intensively for this moment. The president started his day Wednesday in Nevada, where he has been in preparation mode at a sprawling resort for the last few days, working with a small contingent of advisers. Sen. John Kerry (D., Mass.) stood in for the Republican nominee during practice rounds, which included a mock set built to replicate the one in Denver. Mr. Obama has joked that debate prep is a drag, but there is little doubt that the president and his team have taken this task seriously.

Top Debate Moments

When presidential candidates debate, voters get a rare opportunity to see how they respond under pressure. Sometimes, the smallest details become big turning points. Take a look at six key moments in presidential debate history.

"This is my last campaign, so we want to leave it all on the table and work as hard as we can," Mr. Obama told a campaign volunteer during a break from debate sessions.

Mr. Romney has been in Denver since Monday. He held one campaign event here but has focused most of his time this week on final debate preparations. On Tuesday, he spent much of the day at his hotel, running through issues with advisers in a conference room.

The Republican nominee took one break Tuesday for a field trip to Chipotle, where he ordered a burrito bowl and chatted with patrons. Mr. Romney assessed his debate readiness for reporters, saying, "I'm getting there."

Before arriving in Denver, Mr. Romney did multiple run-throughs of mock debates with his sparring partner, Sen. Rob Portman (R., Ohio). During a full dress rehearsal Sunday at an event hall in Boston, they donned suits and stood behind lecterns that were positioned precisely as the stage will be set up Wednesday evening.

Still, Romney advisers have been quick to remind that only one candidate on the stage has participated in a general-election presidential debate. For their part, Obama aides have pointed out that the president is four years out of practice, while Mr. Romney is fresh off the Republican-primary debate season.

The two candidates arrive at Wednesday's debate with somewhat different objectives. Both men aim to connect with voters and make the case that their proposals will jump-start the economy, but Mr. Romney needs momentum, while the president needs to avoid mistakes. A new Wall Street Journal/ NBC News poll shows a close race, with Mr. Obama leading 49% to 46%. Mr. Romney is trailing in several key swing states, polls show, and he has struggled to make much of a dent in the president's modest but consistent lead.

Romney advisers have long pointed to the debates as pivotal moments that could help move undecided voters into their column, and the Republican nominee's preparations reflect the priority they have placed on these three face-to-face meetings. Mr. Romney's central argument Wednesday night and during the final weeks of the campaign will be that the country can't afford four more years like the last four. The Republican candidate's challenge will be to rebut the president's arguments while still appearing like someone to whom voters can relate and, ideally, like. Romney advisers have said he would connect with voters by offering solutions to their problems.

To underscore those points, the Romney campaign released a new television ad Wednesday in which the former Massachusetts governor speaks directly to the camera about Americans who are struggling, living paycheck to paycheck or in poverty. "My economic plan will get America back to work and strengthen the middle class," Mr. Romney says.

For its part, the Obama campaign released a video ahead of the debate previewing some of the arguments that Obama Deputy Campaign Manager Stephanie Cutter said Mr. Romney likely would make Wednesday night. She said Mr. Romney hasn't offered specifics about his economic plan.

"So, he can either use tonight's debate to give us those details for the first time ever," Ms. Cutter says in the video. "Or he can spend 90 minutes doing what we know he's good at: attacking the president, distorting his own record and avoiding any and all details of his plans for the country."

While the Obama camp hopes to do no harm during the run-up to Nov. 6, campaign manager Jim Messina said they wouldn't hold anything back.

"Campaigns that try to sit on leads are campaigns that make mistakes, and we're not going to be that campaign," he said. "We're going to go after it every single day as hard as we can."

Obama advisers see the debate as less of a chance to score points and more as a fresh, high-profile opportunity to make the same points Mr. Obama has campaigned on all year, chiefly that he would protect the middle class. The campaign sees Mr. Obama's mission much as it saw the imperative around his convention speechâ€"needing to persuade voters that the president has a strong economic plan for a second term. To set up that case, the campaign released a two-minute TV ad last week in which Mr. Obama reviewed the five-point plan he introduced in his convention speech.

After this first presidential debate, two more will followâ€"one a town-hall-style meeting that could touch on a wide range of issues and a final debate focused on foreign policy. Vice presidential candidates Joe Biden and Paul Ryan also will debate once.

As Wednesday's debate approached, both campaigns worked to lower expectations. The candidates wives, though, apparently didn't get that memo. In a campaign event Tuesday in Littleton, Colo., Ann Romney told supporters her husband succeeds at every task he tackles.

And while Obama aides have all but emphasized the president's shortcomings in an apparent effort to reduce expectations, Michelle Obama said she couldn't think of a single weakness when it comes to her husband's debating skills.

"He doesn't need much advice. He's been doing this for quite some time," the first lady told CNN. "He's a very good debater, so I do tell him to have fun and relax and just be himself because the truth is, if he's the Barack Obama the country has come to know and trust, he's going to do a great job."

In a separate interview with CNN, Mrs. Romney said she gives her husband much the same advice.

"He has to feel what he's gotta say, when he's gotta say it. He's gotta listen to his own instincts. And of course it'sâ€"he's gonna be getting a lot of advice. But he's gotta listen to his own instincts more than anyone else's and trust that."

With fewer than five weeks remaining until Election Day, both candidates will quickly return to the campaign trail after Wednesday's debate. The president will appear Thursday at events in Colorado and Wisconsin. Mr. Romney plans to campaign Thursday in Virginia.
