I want to know what the best Registry Editor is for Windows XP Pro. I have this annoying site that is redirecting me to porn sites. I wanna know how to get rid of it. I am guessing using a good Registry Editor will do it?
In my Internet Explorer under the view I still see the option for the Roboform toolbar although it is grayed out. I have removed this program, and I thought I got all of the remnants. Should I keep looking for files to delete somewhere, or would I need a registry editor to remove this reference?
Should file names in the merge registry entries dialog box look like this? The real path to this file is C:Other FilesRegistry Backups. I've been using the Command Prompt (cmd.exe) recently; could that have anything to do with this? I just can't remember if file names always looked like that.
On WinXP Pro I can access "gpedit.msc" to change the QoS bandwidth to speed up my DSL connection. Unfortunately gpedit is not available on WinXP Home. Is there a way to change it through the registry?
whenever i try to open regedit (the registery editor) does not stay open. i need to delete lines from it since i have recently had a virus but it will not stay open for me to do so.
I have windows XP Professional on my PC celeron 1.2 ghz, Mercury 810, 256 sd ram. I think my PC is infected with a virus that doesn't let me access Registry Editor, Group Policy Editor, MS-Dos from windows and all those vital tools. As soon as try to access them the system restarts automatically. Moreover, my antivirus program doesn't detect any virus (may be this too is the work of a virus). Has any body any idea what this problem is? Is this the work of a virus? If yes, I would like to know how to detect and eliminate this virus.
there's two ways of achieving this. The easy way: 1. Create a .reg file and name it to whatever you think might fit. (create an empty .txt-file and rename it to whatever.reg) 2. Rightclick it and choose "edit". 3. Paste the following into it:Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTDriveshellDefragCommand]@="defrag.exe %1 -f -v" 4. Save and close. 5. Doubleclick it and answer yes/ok to the questions. 6. Rightclick a drive and choose 'Defrag' to defragment it......
For some reason, my user account in Windows XP says that I do not have administrator privileges, even though I am registered as a Administrator. Because of this, i cannot use command prompt, disk defragmenter, and registry editor. I use Windows XP Pro, with SP2.
Start the Registry Editor by clicking Start, Run, and type "regedit" (without quotes). Go to this key:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSession ManagerMemory Management On the right, locate the ClearPageFileAtShutdown value. Right-click the value, select modify, and change the data value of the registry key to 1. If the ClearPageFileAtShutdown value doesn't exist, add it. Right-click the right side of your specified key and add it as a DWORD value. Then change the data value to 1. Restart for your changes to take effect. Note: Your shutdown time may slightly increase.
how can i enable the registry editor for the Windows 2003 Server Standard Edition, when i type in run command it gives me the message "registry editing is disabled by your administrator".
Just recently, I've been getting lots of "So-and-so encountered a problem and needed to close". For "So-and-so", read "Windows Login UI" or "Namo Web Editor" or "Run a DLL as an App", etc.

While trying to install McAfee Virus Scan that I downloaded from their site, a pop up screen asked, "Debug using the current Script editor?" The default was Microsoft Script Editor. When I clicked OK another window opened with the heading "Microsoft Virtual Studio Debugger". It provided the options to Break - Continue - Ignore. Selecting "continue" just brought up the same window again. The "ignore" button indicated that future problems could occur if you choose this option. So, I selected "Break" which opened up another window titled, "Misc Files - Microsoft Script Editor [BREAK].
I still cant get it to work. Do you have anymore Ideas. NOTE: in the Enviormental Variables there was no PATH string. Only a PATHEXT one. I did not touch this one. I added a PATH string with the following line %SystemRoot%system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%system32WBEM which I believe is correct. Still no MMC or Group policy editor.
The MMC still gives me the same error. I still cant get into the group policy editor or MMC. I tried yours and wesleys Ideas.
