Windows 7 - Computer doesnt remember settings |

#1 | | Windows 7 SP1 x64 Ultimate |
Computer doesnt remember settings I tried everything but nothing works.
I restore registry from registry cleaner, made system restore, and restore files that STOPzilla said they are viruses. I think its STOPzilla fault, that nothing works.
Here is a problem, every time I restart computer I have to customize icons appearance(notification) in taskbar. Second problem is that i cant make default programs for opening files permanent, everything is opening with Windows Shell Common Dll, and when i try to change program, nothing happens, desktop blinks but program is not changed.
Thats my problem, but somehow I have filling that there will be more problems.

Try this if you can find a point before you ran the registry cleaner. If you started this yesterday pick a restore point 3-4 days ago. System Restore
Please leave the registry cleaners for Win XP in the future. Sorry but I think that is the worst thing you can do to Win 7.
If that doesn't work I hope you have your Win 7 disk.
This will repair the registry and defaults of Windows and the registry WITHOUT removing your personal files, pictures and folders. Repair Install
Delete the Stopzilla that is not working properly.

I tried but it gave me error.
What if someone exports hole registry of windows 7 x64.
Would that help. I think there is a 70:30 percent of chance that it would help
So if anyone would do that please upload it to zippyshare
Put it to RAR it will be 95% smaller | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number MSI P35 Platinum OS Windows 7 SP1 x64 Ultimate CPU E8200 3.4 OC Motherboard MSI P35 Platinum Memory Kingston 4GB 852MHz, DDR2 Graphics Card Sapphire 4870 512mb Sound Card Realtek 7.1 Monitor(s) Displays Sony CPD-G420 Screen Resolution 1280 * 1024 Keyboard Speedlink + Gaming Razer Belkin n52te Mouse Prestigio Optical Racer mouse PSU 650w Cooling Scythe KATANA III, Accelero Twin Turbo Pro Hard Drives WD 500GB, 7200rpm, L2 16MB, SATA2 Internet Speed 8mb/1mb Other Info Comodo Internet Security, Malwarebytes, CfosSpeed 7 |

DigDeep,
You will not be able to use another computer's whole registry import. Each registry is unique to a computer and cannot use one from another computer.
What was the error that you got? Did you do it exactly as outlined in the tutorial with a retail Windows 7 installation DVD? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Self built custom OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1 CPU Intel i7-980X 3.3 Ghz (3.48 Ghz OC'd) Motherboard ASUS P6X58D Premium Memory 12 GB (2GBx6) DDR3 PC3-16000 2000 MHz Kingston HyperX Graphics Card Sapphire HD5870 Eyefinity 6 2GB Sound Card Realtek HD Audio ALC889 Integrated Chip Monitor(s) Displays 3x 27" Asus VE278Q Screen Resolution 1920x1080 Keyboard Logitech Cordless Desktop MX 5500 Revolution Mouse Logitech Cordless Desktop MX 5500 Revolution PSU OCZ Series Gold OCZZ1000M 1000W Case Corsair Obsidian 800D Cooling Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme Copper CPU heat sink w/120 MM Hard Drives 160GB OCZ RevoDrive X2
