  1. I accidentally deleted a registry key to open "folder".


    I accidentally deleted a registry key in "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\open\command" that's used to open a folder when you double click on it. Now when i click on a folder it redirects to the home folder %SystemRoot%\Explorer.exe. I do not have a back-up of my registry.I also can't restore the system because i don't have a system point saved.Is there any way to fix this?

    :)

    Accidentally Deleted Some Folders

    Yesterday I was cleaning my PC and I accidentally deleted two folders (named "NVIDIA" and "NVIDIA Corporation") in C:\ProgramData. To my knowledge this two folders only contain non important stuff like logs, etc. Later on I have found out my Program Settings in NV Control panel were set to default. This is no big deal, but now I'm worrying I fu***d something up. Otherwise, everything works as it should --> no overheating, BSODs, games are working normally...

    I just want to know what I deleted. Were those two folders important???

    Hi Osi,

    We acknowledge that you're experiencing an issue regarding the registry and it is possible to restore a deleted registry if you have a system restore point which can take you back to an earlier point before the issue occurred. We would suggest checking the

    thread
    to see the steps that you can follow in restoring from a system restore point.
