.reg file not working.

[Arablover]

I am trying to enter some settings into the registry and I keep on getting an error message, Error accesing the registry.

The file is below.

I am sure that it is something REALLY simple!

Cheers.

i dont know why but it seems to be this line

;remove go button

[HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-527237240-1606980848-1202660629-500\

Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]

it may be that that key does not exist anymore, the S-1-5-21-52blah blah, is a unique sid number and when you reinstall windows, it creates a different sid number for a user " part of xp's security" your username might be user but xp sees you as a sid number and even if you reinstall windows and use the same name you will not have the same number cus xp gets the number from an encryption process

Hope this helps you

Like D. said ...

As a general rule you should not add entires to the HOT_KEY_USERS key, except in rare cases to the HOT_KEY_USERS\Default User key. All user settings should be added to the HOT_KEY_CURRENT_USER key (which translates to HOT_KEY_USERS\"Unique_User_SID")

[Arablover]

That was it.

Thank you devil270975 and GreenMachine!

Cheers.
