  Hello

  If you had made any changes in the registry without taking the backup copy of the registry, then there could be chances that your computer can find themselves in no situation to start and finally end up in the reinstallation of the operating system; This is why it is recommended to take a backup changed in the register of representation.

  Before editing a registry key or subkey, we recommend that you export, or make a backup copy of the key or the subkey. You can save the backup copy to a location that you specify, for example, a folder on your hard drive or a removable storage device. If you make changes that you want to cancel, you can import the backup copy.

• You want to change the registry to restrict limited users.

  IOriginal title: backup of registry permissions.

  I found a few customizations that involves changing the registry permissions rather than the entries to allow limited users to do some harmless things that seem to require an account administration.
  Things like change the profiles of power and using Java.

  I am well aware of the importance of a key export before making changes, but which affects permissions, or just the contents of the key, if I try ot restore it? Given the format of a REG file, it seems to be just the content.

  Creating a system restore point be the best way to make the backup in case I live? I think what happens if I accidentally click on the wrong thing and take away the permission rather than add it. Of course, I intend to be careful, but I never know if I'll be surprised or something and saw things. A lesson I learned at the time of the Apple II when my cat (may she rest in peace, I have not had since) jumped on the keyboard and the FUBARed the floppy disk in the computer.

  Hi SlickRCBD2,

  If you export a key before making changes to the registry, it will not affect the set of permissions on your computer.

  I suggest you create a system restore point before making any changes on the computer.

• Change the registry of Physikal by VBA Script

  Hello

  We use an Office 2003 Thinapp

  We have an excelsheet which uses a VBA script to write some registry keys to change the options of the printer.

  The registry keys must be written to the registry physikal.

  Can someone tell me how to do?

  Yes, you have to rebuild it.

  You say that you already have a VBA macro that you run from Excel to change the registry; in this case, just the insulation value: merger these registry keys (as in the example of my previous post) and re-create your package ThinApp.

  The HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.txt file is located in your project folder, one that is created when you capture your application.

  Another approach uses callback functions if you want to change the registry at the start of your program of ThinApped and when it stops. You can read more here:

• How can I change the registry values with a common search for the string and replace the function where I don't do all manually?

  Due to problems of space with my installation of XP Pro, (operating system has been installed on a 4 GB partition and I did have a copy of the OS to do a new installation) I am trying to move a number of files on a mounted drive.

  It is a way to search an entire record of [SPECIFY FOLDER] "C:\Program Files\" instances and replace each with "C:\Program Files\Overflow\ [SPECIFY FOLDER]" as a common discovery replace function?

  Also, I'll have to move several "Common Files" files in the mounted folder 'Overflow '. The method to make learning one should help me to do both. Manually, it will take most of thousand years that all the files in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Components
  the files seem to have a key value have changed.

  I have already uninstalled and reinstalled some programs at the desired location, but many still use the "Common files" folder despite my having already changed the default installation directory path in the registry. Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  NORTH CAROLINA

  One way:

  1. Start Regedit (start-> Run-> 'Regedit')
  2. Select the branch of the registry, or you are interested in changing.
  3. The export of this branch of the registry (file-> export) in a ".reg" file
  4. Use a programming editor (for example, the freeware Notepad ++) and use the "Find and replace" function to make the changes you want.  Save the modified file.
  5. After making the changes, double-click the .reg file to fold changes in your registry.

  As always, keep a backup of your original registry in case things get really bad and know how to do to restore this backup your machine should not be able to start.

• How change the registry Vista so I can add my program in the default programs list?

  Hello

  I need help to change the register of Vista so I can't add Sibelius 5 to the list of default programs.

  I need to do this for some reason when I try to open the files .sib I need to open it with a program. So why I want 5 of Sibelius.

  However, when I do this, I do the normal navigation and select 5 of Sibelius in program files but nothing happens.

  I was in Control Panel and was in default programs and all that stuff in there, but still it's not helping.

  See you soon

  Hello

  We could do this in the registry, but it shouldn't. You mention that you went into default programs, but you don't mention if you have tried successfully to associate the file .sib with Sibelius. That's what I would try first.

  (1) navigation to the "default programs":

  In "Control Panel Home", select "Programs", then on "Default programs", choose "do a type of file always open in a specific program.

  Or b:

  Search "Classic view" for the "default programs". Select "Set your default programs".

  2)

  Scroll down the list until you see. SIB. Double-click on that. Select Browse and locate the Sibelius program.

  (Note: * maybe that is your problem.) --> Make sure you browse to the EXECUTABLE file. If you access a shortcut, it will not and it may not work correctly when you try to open later.

  * And you're good to go. Once it is associated with, you should be able to double-click the .sib file and run the program. Hope this helps,

• Getting blue screen error after changing the registry system, how can I do a system restore

  Vista system was a repair to start and got stuck on 3/3

  I can't start windows or even in safe mode

  I do not have a backup of drive to back up either

  I tried to rename it in the registry, now I get the Blue error message on what ever I did in the registry

  When a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) the system failure occurs, for most users, there not enough time to fully record what he says. the exact text is important for anyone trying to diagnose what is wrong. You can save time when the error occurs then by following the procedure described below.

  If you already did it disable the auto reboot system error. This should help by allowing the time to write the code to Stop error and related information correctly. Select Start, do a right-click on computer select Properties, advanced, system settings startup and recovery, system failure and uncheck the box before automatically restarting. Re-do not enable automatic restart in the event of system failure after obtaining this information, this setting is the best left to not allow an automatic restart.

  If the failure occurs during the initialization of the computer, you need to try a different approach. You can access the Advanced Options Menu of Windows on multiple computers by constantly pressing the F8 (key) key when starting and selecting the option - disable automatic restart in case of system error. This method is not always easy to use because it may be difficult to press the F8 key at the right time. Try again if it doesn't work the first time. On some computers, a different key must be used.

• Changed the registry key for AppData Application data under the guidance of Adobe. Now lost models, smart tags etc.

  Hello everyone

  My Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro died today. I have "instant chat" with the support of Adobe. They asked me to change my registry key in Windows (I use XP) data from app to App Data. Now my Acrobat works fine, but I lost all THE other parameters. This includes:

  My preferences in all adobe CS (including layouts of pallet etc.)

  My Outlook e-mail footer

  More importantly, my tags in Outlook.

  These are just the programs I used in the last hours. I can't figure out how to get all these programs to point to App Data. I'm not a COMPUTER expert.

  Thanks in advance!

  Terri

  It is a group of Vista so your talk to people who have not used XP in
  years.
   
  If my memory is correct AppData (the record) was invented in Vista
  and XP should be Application Data (Vista compatibility for XP
  programs that use Application data it redirecting to AppData without the
  program to know).
   
  If you have changed
  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User
  Shell folders it was stupid advice from Adobe. Change it back. If it was a
  different key can validate return which key it is.

• Can we change the default image in JPG format in windows 7

  Hi all

  Our problem is that many users make a screenshot and paste it into an email.

  Our standard company is in outlook rich text format, and so if a user paste a screenshot in the mail it will be great because it's a PNG image.

  I try to educate our users to save screenshots in jpg format and more attached to the post, but I would like to ask, if it is a solution to change the default png to jpg format?

  Thanks for your replies!

  Respect,

  Akos

  Hi Akos,

  There is not really a way taken in charge for you to achieve this goal. However, there may be a 3rd party option that would only achieve this by changing the registry values in Windows.

  However keep in mind that using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

• Cannot change the Compatibility Mode

  I'm trying to run an application on a new Windows 7 PC.  It works fine with no special settings on a Windows 7 PC identical (same model number, same OS, same OS updates).  But on the second machine Windows does not allow me to change the compatibility mode to Windows 7.  He insists on locking myself in other compatibility modes and greys and then the selection to return to Windows 7.  Worse, whenever I run the program I have to answer the nattering question "do you want the next request to make changes to this computer?  -Yes!  No matter what!  just, let me alone and run the application!

  (1) how do stop this Moguls and force Windows 7 leaves me alone and run the application?

  (2) how set the compatibility mode to Windows 7 (or eliminate the comaptibility altogther mode) for this application?

  I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app several times with no luck.

  Yes, lowering the UAC slider leaves your pc more reports unprotected, which was why I mentioned only use it as an experienced user (.. .knowing your way around your pc...)

  This problem only occurs with the .exe in question btw?

  You can still work around a problem in the registry. I found this (below) on several sites. Before you begin, I STRONGLY suggest that you make a backup of the registry . How? Type regedit in the search bar in the startmenu, then press on enter, confirm the UAC, click file-> export, choose a file name and choose where you want to save the exported .reg file, select (dot) all under Export range option, type a name for the .reg file and click on the Save button.
  ! The registry is not a place for fun if you know exactly what you are doing. You will have to pay dearly if something goes wrong!
  You can access the registry by typing regedit in the search bar in Startmenu, but you probably already know.
  ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

  All settings in the Compatibility tab can be set through the registry

  -Open REGEDIT
  -goto "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers".
  -create a new string value
  -name or rename the full path asked for example "C:\Program Explorer\iexplore.exe may.
  -Right click on the new channel and select Edit
  -type RUNASADMIN in line with value data; This will rank the program to run as administrator.
  This allows you to bypass the graphical mode of editing the parameters. Instead, you change the registry settings. And of course, you can ignore the advances
  The shortcut properties. Better start the program by default
  Administrator mode! : o ;)

  I used it for Internet Explorer (iexplore.exe) which is part of the
  System.

  A shortcut on the desktop can be configured to run as administrative mode.
  But, if I run the IE7 browser, leave a link URL or Favorite, that this doesn't
  work and Windows Vista it will run in User Mode... UNLESS I CHANGED
  THESE OPTIONS WITH REGEDIT. To start regedit click on Start Menu, then
  "Run...". "type REGEDIT. EXE or REGEDIT.

  Other Options and examples .
  Always in the key called a HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows
  NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers you can add more variables:

  RUNASADMIN: I just said, run as administrator of the program
  : rolleyes:;
  256COLOR: run the program in 256 colors;
  640 x 480: Add this value to run a game or another application in a lower
  RES;
  DISABLETHEMES: to disable visual themes Windows 4 adds that the app;
  DISABLEDWM: Disabled Desktop Composition;
  HIGHDPIAWARE: Disable the display timing of ppp settings high;

  ELEVATECREATEPROCESS: I don't know, unknown function. : confused:

  VALUES of COMPATIBILITY (not use'em together, only by app!):
  Win95: Add the Windows 95 compatibility mode;
  Win98: Add Windows Me or 98 compatibility mode;
  NT4SP5: Mode NT 4.0 Service Pack 5 Com;
  Win2000: Tap to add compatibility mode Windows 2 K;
  WINXPSP2: Windows XP Service Pack 2 Compatibility Mode;
  WINSRV03SP1: Windows Server 2003 SP 1 com mode

  Windows also creates these chains of the option when you change the compatibility
  Settings in the properties of the selected executable (graphics mode is not
  Regedit mode).

• Cannot change the update of Java through the control panel (64-bit version)

  Windows 7 SP1 x 64
  
  Hello
  
  Since no direct feedback to Oracle is possible (the form does not), I use this forum for your comments. Feedback is intended for Oracle, but I appreciate any input from the community.
  
  The x 64 version of Java JRE installation gives you all access to settings update via Control Panel-> Java link. However, Setup installs and activates the update of Java without any recognition of the user. In case you do not want to have a background task running periodically check the updates you must manually change the registry to get rid of this process.
  
  It is bad programming and must be changed with the next update.

  Unfortunately, Oracle look here, it is a programming user to user forum. And they decide for themselves what should or should not set (as you may have noticed see how the Java 7 is handled); If you want any type of control that you will need to get a support contract.
