Tampered with the registry and now I cannot log-on
Basically I deleted what I thought to be a virus from within the registry. The path I took was HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Wow6432Node. Wow6432Node is the directory I deleted. I then noticed that I couldn't run any programs on my desktop as a error message would appear (I can't remember what it said). I then decided to restart my computer to see if that would fix the problem. When I was back at the Welcome Screen, there were no user accounts that I could log on to. I then took the hard drive and connect it to my brother's computer whilst his working hard drive was still connected. I then enabled the built in administrator account and was able to open my hard-drive as that user. I can access all of my files but only when logged in as the administrator and on my brothers computer, using his hard drive to start up. Could someone please explain step by step what I should do to get sort this out? I imagine I'd have to reset the registry of my hard drive by using my brothers computer. Could someone please explain ad to do this? I'm obviously not good with computer or else I wouldn't be in this situation, so I'm going to need you to dumb it down for me. Thank you
