xboxhaxorz Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 I compiled a bunch of tweaks into a reg file and applied it to my system. I wish to undo some or all of the tweaks i applied, is there some line of code i can apply to the same reg file to undo them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbm Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 If you know what the settings were before you ran your reg file,you can edit your reg file and set the settings back to default.There is no undo feature with the registry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xboxhaxorz Posted May 22, 2006 Author Share Posted May 22, 2006 I remember coming across a website that had reg tweaks in .reg format. It also provided an undo tweak in .reg format if the tweak didnt work out for that user. I was wondering how to make those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dels Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 to undo it so simple before you merge the tweak registry do BACKUP first your original registry then you can merge it to undo all the tweaks lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phkninja Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 The way they are done is to find the value before you edit the registry. export it as a reg file, then import the new settings. because you have already run the new file, you have no way of "going back" as you dont know what the original values are.only thing i can suggest is post your reg file and someione might be able to fix some of the updates you made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefoxthebomb Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 it is just like everyone is saying, there is no undo unless you save the value by exporting that key before you applied the new settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playsafe Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 There is a program reshot at this linkwww.snapfiles.com/get/regshot.htmlU can use other system (same OS though), at that system1- Execute the regshot2- Apply those tweaks at that system3- Again execute the regshotCompare the two shots taken at registry and it will give the added and changed keys Report.Go to your original system and remove OR update those entries as u understand.Please please, at least take the registry backup before diong so (In case if something goes wrong)Yasir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dels Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 how hard to backup registry? just said regedit on run box and hocus focus you select menu export then abrakadabra you save with the name you like, voila that's a hot registry to pick up it even don't take a minute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bledd Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 (edited) if the key had [HKCU] in the file, put [-HKCU] and it will delete the key-but doing this may very well totally nail your system if the values already existed!what has gone wrong?

AmphetaMarinE Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Do it like this.I will illustrate with my "fix a non-reading cd due to filter driver issues" .reg file.The contents of my cdfix.reg:REGEDIT4[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}]"UpperFilters"=-"LowerFilters"=-[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdr4_2K][-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdralw2k][-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdudf][-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\UdfReadr]Notice the "-" symbols? that is how to remove the keys....
