Reverting the registery to its default settings

Franky · 06 Oct 2014

Hello all,

On my friend's Windows 7 x86 machine some registery apps were working and every so often some odd thing would occur. After uninstalling those registery apps which were doubtful to me, we restarted to use the machine. Now I think the registery has changed and is different to its default. How to revert those registery settings to their default state please?

Was the Registry backed up ? What programs where used ? ..

No, unfortunately it's not backed up. And I didn't understand what you mean by "What programs were used", my friend.

I meant which Registry Cleaners where used ? .. Is there any Restore points ?

We didn't use any registery cleaners. But those apps (which I've forgotten their names) were to modify the registery so I uninstalled them. After that I uninstalled others excess apps as well and left the machine as was. Now I don't know/think restore point is much useful because many changes have been happened. A good tool for getting the registery returned to its default would be desired!

Run a System Scan that will tell you if you have corrupt Files ..

SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

If sfc /scannow doesn't do the job you could try a Repair Install.
Here is a tutorial by Brink.

OK. So if there wasn't any corrupt file that means registery is fine?

Yes it should be fine ...

Thank both of you.

PS: The system doesn't let me to give you (maxie) vote now but I remember to do that later, certainly.
