Improve touchscreen sensitivity on the Diamond and Touch Pro.

Before anything else, you try this hack at your own risk.
 
According to 1800pocketpc, it is possible to improve the sensitivity of the Diamond and the Touch Pro through a registry hack. In case you are not comfortable manipulating the registry, a .cab file is also available for download here.
 
Unfortunately, I do not own any of these devices. If you try this hack, I would appreciate a feedback.
 

1. Go to  HKLM/Drivers/TouchPanel using your registry editor   
2. Change the PressureThreshold value to 80866 in decimal ( NOT hex )   
3. Now goto HKLM/Software/OEM/TFLOSettings, Change FingerPressure value to 1  in decimal ( NOT hex )   
4. Soft-Reset your device
