I've noticed that the SID (5-1-5-blahblahblah) changes each time you install Windows. Try replacing HKEY_User\SID\ with HKEY_CURRENT_USER. Of course, I've got several problems getting registry tweaks to work, so I'm the last person you'll want to consult, really.

Well Done thats it you are brillent that why i can get it to work of couse.

[DaveXP]

ok it did not work but i have found out more about adding control panel to my computer these two files get change as well when i change the option for control panel to be displayed.

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\ntuser.dat.LOG

C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\SECURITY.LOG

Does anyone no how to modify them??

[Bachus]

They shouldn't make a difference. As their extensions show, they're just log files.

[DaveXP]

i no but control panel dont come up in my computer after that registry is used.
