    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.

    missig registry values

    Hi Alastor, OK, let us see if we can manually fix the file association . . .

    Click your Start Button, type regedit and hit enter

    In the Registry Editor, navigate to:

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT - .exe

    In the right pane, double click (Default) key and set Data value to exefile

    Then Navigate to (note you will have to scroll a long way down past all the entries beginning with (dot) and then down to keys beginning with e:

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT - exefile shell\open\command

    In the right pane select (Default), double click it and set its Value data to “%1” %*

    Restart your PC

    General Registry Tweaks

    Some of the basic tweaks I always apply to in Windows:

    Copy the right section between the dotted lines, paste into notepad and save as a ".reg" file, double click on the newly saved file, then click yes.
