Problem with windows registry entry

[username1234]

Hello. I am having a problem with my windows 7. I read on the forum and edit my registry to add an entry which replaced my existing windows explorer with total commander explorer. But in my case this replaced a lot of information for instance I am not able to open the power option menu to adjust the screen brightness which is not convenient for me.

Does someone know how to remove this registry entry and return this back to normal.

Which one exactly did you use? Did you make a (registry) backup beforehand?

No I didn't I feel stuped. I used the second one.

username1234: At my Win7 registry there is no such default key:

Code: Select all

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell]
@="TC"

Just delete the "Default" entry ... and reboot.

But how do I do that?

[Dalai]

Open regedit.exe, navigate to the branch in question and delete the value?

See,
---> [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell] is the KEY (the "path") in the registry hierarchy.
---> "@" is the NAME-part of an entry. Here the symbol @ represents --in the *.reg text file-- the real name "(Default)" or (Standard) in German.
---> "TC" is the VALUE for that entry.


For references, the original *.reg file from >>> https://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?p=9106#p9106

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell]
@="TC"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\TC]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\TC\command]
@="\"C:\\totalcmd\\totalcmd.exe\" \"%1\""

- first google for a registry-tutorial and read
- start regedit
- browse to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell
- right click the "shell" folder and chose "Export" to have a copy, just in case.
- select the "shell" folder and see to the right... there should be in YOUR case: (Default) REG_SZ TC ?
- right click (Default) and chose "Modify" and remove that value "TC" (or change the "TC" value to "TC-disabled" to temporary disable it)
- reboot
