can't change value to decimal setting in registry

I was doing some registry tweaks for internet performance,  but i noticed that, for the Dword value named TcpWindowSize, whenever i change the base setting to decimal and press OK, it reverts back to the hexadecimal setting no matter what.  I don't know if this happens with every registry key though.

just faf0
not even a parenthesis
Tried deleting the value and recreating it?

It is normal for Windows to modify some values automatically into HEX, but it will always give you the decimal value in parenthesis...

yes tried that before posting this question.
Whats the physical Key, or reg hack you are trying to implement?

To increase the TcpWindowSize?

I'm trying to enter a value data of 64240  and change to decimal base setting by adjusting it manually unde the key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters
Mine stays Hex even after selecting decimal....Mine is fc00 though.....

<<But it still shows 0x0000faf0 (64240)
it shows as faf0 not  0x0000faf0 (64240)

are you sure i wouldn't have to worry? because i remember i was able to do this previously, could sumthing have change my pc configuration?
faf0 is the same as the value in the registry as 0x0000faf0

OK. i got it.
i didn't realize  I was actually seeing   just faf0 because it was from the "edit Dword value" window.  i wasn't looking in the right pane.
