usually only takes a few minutes:
1 - Locate
the Registration File you exported before making your changes to the Windows 7
Registry.
2 -
Double-click on the REG file to open it.- Next you'll be prompted with a message in a Registry Editor window:
" Adding
information can unintentionally change or delete values and cause components to
stop working correctly. If you do not trust the source of this information in
[REG file location], do not add it to the registry. Are you sure you want to
continue?"
Important:
This isn't a message to be taken lightly. If you're importing a REG file that
you did not export or one you downloaded from a source you can't trust, be
aware that you could cause considerable damage to Windows 7, depending on the
registry keys being changed.
3 - Click the
Yes button.
Assuming
the registry key(s) import was successful, you should receive the following
message in a Registry Editor window:
The keys
and values contained in [REG file location] have been successfully added to the
registry.
4-Click the
OK button in this window.
The
registry keys contained in the REG file have now been restored to the Windows 7 Registry. If you know where the registry keys were located, you can open
Registry Editor and verify that the changes were made as you expected.5-Restart your computer.
