Which was my point, if you delete some part of the registry and can't get back into windows, your stuffed.
You can delete elements in the registry and nothing appears to be a problem because the changes you make to registry don’t take effect until you reboot, then the s*1t hits the fan when you can’t get in to “put it back to about 2 hours before.”
I did say that i tryed to restart, but couldn’t, but in win98SE there is a program at startup called scanreg (in msconfig) that scans your whole registry everytime you succsesfuly start your computer up and keeps backups, now because i couldn’t start it up ivheld F8 (where safe mode ect are) and selected safemode command promt (C:\My Documents to get to my documents for example) and because i had restarted my computer about 2 hours before this i just typed scanreg /restore and selescted the time i wanted it to be restored to (2 hours before) , if it i hadn’t of been restarted 2 hours before i would of had to back it up to the day before.
