Regedit Windows Activation Key
Lane Frisch
I just purchased a second hand HP Elitebook but it looks like it was an ex-lease model and has windows 10 enterprise installed. I can't personalize the PC because enterprise isn't activated (eventually I will downgrade to win10 home or pro). Is there a way to edit the registry so that I can add a custom wallpaper? That's all I want to change.
You can set the wallpaper using the Local Group Policy Editor(gpedit.msc), atUser Configuration > Administrative Templates > Desktop > Desktop,group policy "Desktop Wallpaper". Set the policy to Enabled, enter thefile path and click OK.
In the registry, this is set at keyHKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System(you may need to create missing sub-keys).Create two REG_SZ items, one named Wallpaper for the path to theimage file, and the other WallpaperStyle whose value is 4.
I'm working with a new property schema, and have been in the habit of checking the registry when I register or unregister a new version. One of the primary places to check this is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CURRENTVERSION\PROPERTYSYSTEM\PROPERTYSCHEMA.
Anyway, I don't understand how this happens, and whether I should be worried about it. Exporting this key from a colleague's machine and re-importing it can temporarily help, as it will show keys in Regedit that were hidden/missing (even if they weren't on my colleague's machine).
The 32bit program data on 64bit systems available in 'Wow6432Node' folder of the registry (in above case 'SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS...'). This is transparent to the applications, hence you can read data from applications but you don't see that in Regedit.
Harry Johnston's intuition was correct. I re-ran regedit from a command line with the path c:\windows\regedit, and I once again see what I expected under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\PropertySystem\PropertySchema. I could've sworn it wasn't showing it either, but it's working now, apparently.
I found 375 keys yesterday but I do not have permissions to edit or remove them. I am a local admin on the machine and am the user who installed the application in the first place. I am also running regedit as an administrator.
There are a few ways to create corrupt Registry Keys. It could be a bad install of the program, it could be an upgrade of existing software that has failed, it could be OS corruption, it could be a faulty hard drive, RAM or even the CPU.
Failing all that, I think you said there were 200+ registry keys found by REVO Uninstaller, so that sounds like a lot of time that no one will want to pay for. Is it possible to nuke and pave? Just format the drive and reinstall Windows.
There IS a reg.dat introduced with Windows 3.1 and some programs even used it, there is also a regedt16.exe. Newer versions of this invoked with /v are actually useable (as found on the second link I just added).
Not sure if it was just a urban myth but remember one countries military was reluctant to upgrade to Win95 due to the introduction of the registry as they thought 1 central file with so much information of the setup as a security risk.
Well it isn't a crazy idea. If your read forensics blogs you might be amazed at all the information they can pull from various locations but really if you access to the system you can also search the hard drive for .ini files with a script so consolidated vs spread out security wise isn't much of an issue. No ACLs in DOS and 9x days either.

Windows 3.10 and 3.11 (both original and "for Workgroups") have the registry and its editor (c:\windows\reg.dat and c:\windows\regedit.exe). But it is containing only HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT hive and nothing other. So if the RegEdit is started without arguments it will only show file type/OLE associations. To see the registry as is, use verbose mode: regedit /v .
If it is not present, probably it's not installed via Windows Setup utility (Components-> Accesoires->Registration or Accessoires->File types, sorry, currently I have no English-localized version of W3.1x to say exactly name, but in Russian it is not a simply "registry editor" and non easy to find).
I moved my windows 3.1 install to a network drive along with all Windows applications so the drive letter changed from C to E.
I got to use the registry editor to fix a few programs that stopped running because "missing C:\xx\yy\zz...".
For some reason my drop box files and folders no longer show the "green tick" when synced. If I right click the system tray icon there are only two options Dropbox or uninstal. I can see no way of accessing the gearwheel lots of the replies to this issue suggest. I have installed the latest versio of the app and running windows 10. Any ideas?
There's a few reasons that could explain why you're not seeing the sync icons next to your files. If you didn't install the app with admin permissions, you may need to just reinstall the app with admin permissions. The steps to do so are outlined here.

From what you mentioned about the options you see when clicking the Dropbox icon in your system tray, the options indeed sound a little strange. Just to confirm, are you clicking the small icon that appears next to the clock display in the bottom right corner of your screen?
Ah just found the icon on the system tray, I was trying the toolbar icon. That said I have found preferences - Selective sync and all my folders are checked to sync, but I still have no "green ticks" My app ver is v81.4.195
From what you mentioned, is it safe to assume that you're using a Windows device? Since Windows has a limit of 15 overlay icons, if you need to prioritize other icons over Dropbox then I can suggest checking which icons are registered with the steps below:
Note: Although Wine stores the registry as text files (specifically $WINEPREFIX/*.reg), you should use the regedit tool for making changes to the registry, just like you would on Windows. This is because of, amongst other things, the special encoding used to store keys.
The Windows registry is a centralized, hierarchical database that manages resources and stores configuration settings for applications on the Windows operating system. Security account services, user interfaces, and device drivers can all use the Windows registry. It also helps monitor system performance and diagnose system errors.
The registry helps Windows manage and operate your computer, ensuring access to critical resources and helping important programs configure settings. A hierarchical database structure of keys and values makes up the registry.
Registry keys are containers that act like folders, with values or subkeys contained within them. Registry values are similar to files (not containers). The relatively straightforward syntax and simple user interface keep the size of the registry low.
The main branches of the registry are called hives. And most PCs have five of them. All the folders in the registry are called keys except for these five hives. The hives in the Windows registry have the following names:
Inside these hives are more folders called keys. Keys contain values, which are the settings themselves. Key settings are very granular, consisting of numbers and codes that dictate, for example, how fast a letter repeatedly appears on your screen when you hold down its key. You likely rarely think about those kinds of settings, but they need to be specified. And Windows registry keys and values are where those definitions are stored.
The registry offers a significant amount of system customization, but you should back up your system before you edit the registry. Whether you have the best possible Windows 10 gaming PC or if your laptop is a low-powered work computer, the registry is equally important and should be fiddled with only when absolutely necessary.
