IE Feature Controls

More and more frustration brought to IE7 user due to the behavior differences. I tried to collect all the FeatureControl values of IE7, here are the results.

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MAIN\FeatureControl\

  In some Office applications, the FEATURE_USE_WINDOWEDSELECTCONTROL is turned on by default. In some cases, users are told to turn this on in IE (to work around bugs). Is there a way to detect that the windowed select controls are being used from within the HTML?
