You could probably "push" the expression into the registry using one of the 
many tools (Perl, Resource Kit, WSH, other) that can do that.  Presumably on 
non-Windows you'd just edit the config file, but the location of that file 
eluded me when I just went looking for it.  Either way, not as easy as an 
argument, but possible.

For Windows see HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Edi Weitz\The Regex Coach\Panes.

Microsoft has single-handedly nullified Moore's Law.
Innate design flaws of Windows make a personal firewall, anti-virus
and anti-malware software mandatory. The resulting software arms race
has effectively flattened Moore's Law on hardware running Windows.
