Hi Frank,
You don't need to get into the Registry. Use Hijack This to checkmark the entries
Carol mentioned, then click "Fix".
To restore access to the Registry though, go to Start > Search > Files & Folders,
type regedit.exe and click Search Now. Right click that file and choose "Rename"
from the menu. Click once to remove the highlight and then place the cursor at the
end of the file name and delete the "exe". Next, type "com" (without quotes) and
click anywhere outside the field. It should now show as regedit.com.
If, when you search for regedit.exe you find a file, but can't see the "exe"
extension, double click the My Computer icon, click the word "Tools", choose "Folder
Options" from the menu. Click the "View" tab and in the list, checkmark the option
"Show Hidden Files & Folder". Remove the checkmark from "Hide file extensions for
known file types". Click Apply/OK.
After you've renamed the regedit file, go to Start > Run, type regedit.com
and click OK. It should launch the Registry editor in the same way.
