  • Is there a way to undo everything.. Cause I took ownership of the Windows folder and now a lot of my programs are not working and they do not have an icon on the desktop... Please Help!

  • :shock: not a good :idea: to modify your registry without a backup. :eek: You should always export yur registry to your desktop or :?: folder then make changes. If find you have screwed yur windows up just reboot in safe mode and import the backup copy. You are asking for touble when you try a registry mod you found online with out a backup :cry:
