The script which you posted and the problem which you're experiencing are not related I'm afraid. What else have you done in between the moment that it still worked and the moment that it stopped working? If I were you I would simply use System Restore to return to a previous state.

[Kelsenellenelvian]

SYSTEM RESTORE????

[Arie]

SYSTEM RESTORE????

Yes. You seem to be surprised

[Kelsenellenelvian]

LOL I was bettting he doesn't even have that option anymore so many people remove it nowadays..

@jxerot

Arie is correct, that reg file did not disable that for me either.

But I did make a Restore point then applied your file and for good measure rebooted, still right clicking here after that but to set things back my way, good old System Restore Point.

System restore does work and even better when you apply a few tweaks to it like limit the Auto delete RP in days to about a week. I've been working on a tweaking program nearly 5 years and that System Restore has gotten me out of more binds. A lot simpler than create an HD image before I apply a couple little tweaks.

Just yesterday I talked a woman through a system restore over the telephone when her comp wouldn't even boot.

Such negativity from the complete unknowing is reason it's not used as much.

SYSTEM RESTORE????

Setting a Restore Point just before running a .reg file, installing software, or trying any sort of tweak is just easy free reliable insurance. Why wouldn't you?
