How To Restore the Registry in Windows 7

 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.
