"Widcomm" in missing registry editor (notification of LOCKING of UPPER problem).

I'm trying to get rid of the boring caps lock notification by following the solution on changing a setting in the registry editor. However, within my HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE in the Editor folder folder does not exist "Widcomm", in which I am suppost to find the entry to change. What should I do next?

  • Malware infection? WinPatrol nortice of the program change - regedit.exe %1 - involved virus Registry Editor?

    I use Winpatrol as one of my security features. Lately he has been asking me if the following program changes are acceptable:

    (1) "Winpatrol has detected a change to one of your file type associations. REG

    The program currently associated with this type of file is:

    Notebook
    MIcrosoft Corporation

    A change was made to use the following program for this file type:

    (2) "Winpatrol has detected a change to one of your file type associations. SCR

    A change was made to use the following program for this file type:

    Recently, my computer has been infected by a variety of viruses and spyware despite my ZoneAlarm and Malwarebyes loaded. I ran several other antivirus and anti-spyware programs and, possibly, these programs don't reported no malware or spyware was present.

    I wonder if the above changes are made by a virus who missed the antivirus programs I have used.

    I would appreciate any comments, advice or information on the changes above the Microsoft community since Microsoft software is involved in the changes requested. I really appreciated any help that can be given and thank you in advance for it.

    Many anti-malware programs make changes to this file association as a way to protect yourself.

    Types of files. SCR and. REG were often abused and used to encourage users to run what has proved to be malicious.   Programs change your default Notepad program to protect you.

    You will notice that most browsers will run is more .reg files.  Instead they will display the text of the script if it is legitimate.  For a long time Outlook has not allowed to download. SCR files.

    WilPatrol will warn you of this change and allow you to change it if you want, but what ever malware program performs this change will continue to try to change it to Notepad.

    I usually recommend either using the Filetypes Lockdown feature in WinPatrol or just say WinPatrol does not monitor. SCR and. REG and let your other security program all supported.

  • It is not an option to select the registry editor

    original title - same topic-other problem

    When double clicked on addspooler.reg & open with is selected, there is no option to the registry editor select. You said there was another way - that was my question. Thanks for any help.

    Also my instructions said:

    Alternatively, you can right-click on the "addspooler.reg" file, choose open with... and select the registry editor which will then import the file.  If you double click it and it opens with Notepad, this means that XP (at some point) said to open with notepad .reg files.  This isn't really a problem since you can import the file otherwise.

    In your case where you do not see the extension .reg, rather right click the "addspooler" file and choose ' open with... The registry editor "."

    Do not double click on the file-it will not work for you.

    RIGHT click ON the addspooler.reg file and follow the directions to open with... The registry editor.

    Y at - there some problem with these instructions read you them and that it cannot be implemented?

    Maybe the message is displayed in white on your end?

    Now, it's really the last, finally, finally, the last time that I re-post the instructions.

  • Manager of the registry editor and the task does not not XP clean install

    Hi all

    I use Windows Xp professional. As soon as I installed Windows I wanted to see 'Task Manager' and 'the registry editor. But I'm not able to open these two applications.

    Whenever I try to run regedit or taskmgr I get this message "task manager / the registry editor" has been blocked by your system administrator.

    I tried a few methods such as downloading a file .vbs script that opens the registry editor and also tried to activate it in the gpedit.msc but I'm still not able to do it properly.

    Can someone help me on this please?

    Enable the Task Manager in Windows XP

    1. start Windows to your habit.

    2. click on 'start '. Then highlight and click on 'run '.

    3. Type "REGEDIT" in the text bar and press "enter."

    4 4 naviguer navigate in the registry, locate the following directory: "HKEY_CURRENT_USER-Software-Microsoft-Windows------CurrentVersion------Policies\ system.»

    5.right click "HKEY_CURRENT_USER", then click on 'New' from the context menu to include a new string. This is necessary only when the necessary directory is not present in the registry. By default, Windows XP Home Edition does not include the necessary directories chain.

    6. click on the part of the sentence "DisableTaskMgr" and delete it. It's the easiest way to do it, but it makes it harder to fix in the future. You will need to manually reenter the chain if you don't back up first.

    7 change the numbers in the Boolean section of the entry from one to zero. This will allow the Task Manager in Windows XP. Note that zero is essentially equivalent to a positive input in this regard, that the original string is a negative.

    8 change the string manually in the window "Run" from the Start Menu, without having to access the registry editor. Just type "REG add HKCU/v DisableTaskMgr /t REG_DWORD /d 0/f" in the text field and press "Enter"...

    Please do the above methods and even if it does not work with these processes then mail me... my mail is * address email is removed from the privacy *. am vijay... waitin 4 your rly... try it & IT... It is easy...

  • I use the vista sp2.the Task Manager and the registry editor has mysteriously disabled. How can I activate them?

    I am running vista sp2 and my task manager has been disabled by the administrator. I checked help and he said that I had to enable it via the registry. When I tried to open the registry editor, he said it has been disabled by the administrator. Well, I am the administrator and I've never disabled anything and I don't know how. Can anyone help.thanks

    I also discovered that I can not use the command either line. It is also disabled.

    Hi Mark,
    I know that you said you have linked the virus scanners, but this looks like an attack on your registry... or at least the dll that open your registry database.
    Did you go back with the restore points?
    Sounds like it might be time for a complete wipe and load (format).

  • Registry editors

    The necessary registry editors and what are doing? I have several and each time I used one the problems made things worse. They all claim to be the best and pretend even to be a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner. Called Microsoft Partner cheating involving the use of Microsoft? The product in question is UniBlue. Every time I find something relevant on the web I usually eventually on a website trying to sell me another registry cleaner. Is anyone know the truth without trying to sell me a product? If the registry editors are so important, why MS isn't one in their operating system?

    I also suggest to avoid.

  • the registry editor is STILL blocked at startup

    Dear team of Microsoft answers,

    After Marilyn link (which I had already gone before first assignment), I always have problems.
    Regedit.exe is blocked at startup. It does not automatically start even if it is supposed to in windows defender. I don't want to disable or remove it from startup. Just that it runs automatically at startup I want without me clicking on it to run in the taskbar. I'm also quite capable of editing the registry entries. So if there is an incorrect entry could you tell me where to find it.
    Thanks in advance for your help

    camo sandals,

    The registry editor is not set to run at startup as a clarification. It is an interface that allows you to edit the keys that specify the features and settings of the programs and services within Windows. Is it possible you're referring to another service or function? Also can give you details on what your experience with Windows Defender? To change the allowed items and their settings in Windows Defender:
    Click Start -> in the Search box, type Windows Defender, click the program in the list to open it.
    In the window of Windows Defender, click on Tools. Here you have hosted elements options so that you can view the software you chose for Windows Defender no monitor and browser software so that you can view and change tracking software. Please provide us more details with your request so that we can help you.

  • Error-Registry Editor

    I have Recieve following error when cleaning with booster register my Registry Editor:
    C:\Windows\system32\clb.dll is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try to install the program by using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the provider of software for support.
    any help thanks

    Chances are good that the program you are using is not compatible with Vista.  Check it out in the Vista Compatibility Center: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-vista/default.aspx and he check on the website, you downloaded it from.

    I would highly recommend against part 3 registry cleaners or boosters of registry of any kind.  Rarely, they do a lot of good and can cause a lot of damage.  Windows Vista is able to hold to its own registry and didn't need all this help.  Yes, I know that when you run the analysis, he said you had 5999 errors in the registry and if you purhased and ran the program he will arrange all - but it is mostly a marketing scam to sell the product or inspire you to use the product (which could be a source of nuisance).  The decision is yours, but I would certainly not do on my system or that of one of my clients.

    Good luck and I hope this helps! Lorien - a - MCSE/MCSA/network + / A +.
