Giving credit where credit isn't due (or changing the Morse Code Credit text)

For you Morse Code Credit fans out there, I have more news for you. As posted earlier, I've decoded the text of the HP EX470 Easter Egg (click here to see the mystery text). But, with all due respect to the people to whom credit is completely deserved, I'll show you how to change the text that is transmitted.

First, a bit of warning. We will be changing the registry on the Home Server machine. If you are unsure about poking around where you don't belong, move on. Google "Britney Spears" or something (no I didn't make that a hyperlink). If you have the cojones, let's proceed:

1. Remote Desktop into your Windows Home Server computer (follow steps 2-4 here if you need help).
2. Run regedit (click Start, Run then type regedit and click OK).
3. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Hewlett-Packard\HP MediaSmart Server\LEDs
4. In the right hand panel, right click, select click New then String Value. 
   
5. Name the new string "CW" (no quotes) and press enter.
6. Press enter again to change the value.
7. Enter the string that you would like to have output when you select the "Morse Code Credits" theme. The only Morse code that I can accurately read is "SOS" (ie ... --- ...) so that's what I'm using as a test.
8. Double click on the key named "Theme" and change the value to 10 hex (16 decimal) to change to the Morse Code Credits theme. You can also use the Ctrl + Alt + Shift method described in my original article.
   
9. You should see the lights on the front of the HP EX470 MediaSmart Server flash:
   dot-dot-dot  dash-dash-dash  dot-dot-dot.

That's it folks. You can now enjoy hours of mindless fun armed only with an HP EX470 and this bit of earth shattering information.
