    registry key for a context menu option missing in registry editor, but option visible on... [​IMG]

    I tried to add a context menu/right click menu option for windows terminal app, but accidentally added 2 different ones under 2 different names.

    I want to delete the options now, but the registry entry is missing. Unfortunately, I deleted the .reg file that I created. I tried adding a new entry under the same name, but it adds a duplicate one instead.

    How do I find the entry and remove it?

    I have tried to search for these strings: windowsTerminal, WindowsTerminal(names I used as keys), windows terminal, Windows Terminal, Open in Windows Terminal. Its not under "Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\" or "Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory\" or "Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory\"

    Modded Registry. Want Old Back....

    did you try this

    To restore the registry
    Open Registry Editor.
    Click Options, and then click Print to print these instructions. (If you are using the Help and Support Center, click Print above the topic area.) They will not be available after you shut down your computer in step 2.
    Click Start, and then click Shut Down.
    In the list, click Restart, and then click OK.
    When you see the message Please select the operating system to start, press F8.
    Use the arrow keys to highlight Last Known Good Configuration, and then press ENTER.
    NUM LOCK must be off before the arrow keys on the numeric keypad will function.

    Use the arrow keys to highlight an operating system, and then press ENTER.
    Caution

    Incorrectly editing the registry may severely damage your system. Before making changes to the registry, you should back up any valued data on your computer.
    Notes

    To open Registry Editor, click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
    Choosing Last Known Good Configuration provides a way to recover from problems such as a newly added driver that may be incorrect for your hardware. It does not solve problems caused by corrupted or missing drivers or files.
    When you choose Last Known Good Configuration, Windows restores information in registry key HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet only. Any changes you have made in other registry keys remain.

    Registry Editor Missing from Administrative Tools in Start menu

    Hi Guys,

    I hope I've come to the right place to share this mystery with.

    Basically, I just discovered that my Registry Editor is missing from the Administrative Tools in the Start menu as shown in the image below:

    However, when I view Administrative Tools in File Explorer, it's right there in the list as shown here:


    registry key for a context menu option missing in registry editor, but option visible on... [​IMG]


    Isn't that a mystery? Does anyone know how I can get the Registry Editor back on the Administrative Tools in my Start menu?


    Regards,
    Andrew
