Fubar'd my registry

[RebateMonger]

LoKe,

When you get it all working, I've got another Registry patch for you to test.
This one turns XP Home into a Commodore 64.

boot from your Home CD and do a repair install. DO NOT go to the command line or whatever(Repair Console) by Pressing 'R' to do the repair.

Go through as if your doing a normal installation, it should detect your current Windows installtion, and then press 'r' to repair and it will restore your registry and you should be in the clear.

good luck!

You are not in the clear if you have other 3rd party applications installed. Restoring the registry will wipe everything else out.. I'm sure there will be some issues with anything else installed after you finish the repair.

I've never had any problems with 3rd party applications.

That's because an inplace upgrade (aka repair) does not touch third party apps.


FYI The control sets in your machine are copied to the current control set when you logon. The HKLM\system\select key determines which set is copied to current, and which one is used for your last known good.
