  1. My registry key seems to be wrong type


    Hello,I'm trying to fix some bug that is my old games always minimize when choose full screen option.There is a solution is to change the value of registry key "ForegroundLockTimeout".I realize that in all the tutorials I watch the type of that key are always "REG_DWORD". I also tested it on my other machines.However, in may laptop the machine I'm using the key type is "REG_SZ". So it doesn't have the option to change as in the tutorial.Is this an error? I don't know much about registry so I'm very confused.If this is an error please tell me how to fix it.Thank you.

    :)

    Deleted wrong registry keys

    This will not be helpful, it is more an expanding on @bro67's post.

    I've made some screenshots of my registry to show how it looks like on my system.

    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.

    Can NOT remove ATITool registry key!

    It's low priority to stop ATITool from making undeletable class keys in the reigstry?

    That's about one rung above spyware.

    What bothers me most is that I'm pretty sure you can't protect a registry key by any simple means, something must still be running somewhat that is protecting that key. Even after I manually removed the service. That's what bothers me.
