Registry key
The starting conditions achieved are stored as a value in the Windows registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\EGOSOFT\X3TC\GameStarts. This value is formed from a bitmask (see below).
0x6FDE is all the conditions used for the current starts, and 0x7FFE all the conditions (bits 0 and 15 aren't used). Although 0xFFFF will work just as well to activate all starts.
To enable specific starts you must OR the condition values for a start together (in calc or whatever). For example, USC Commander (6), Savage Split (4) and Anonymous Argon (16384) would be 6 | 4 | 16384 = 16390 (0x4006). Of course, if other starts share those conditions they'll be enabled as well (in this case Pious Paranid would also be enabled).
