Hi
I have deleted some entries from registry unknowingly. After restart some options like 'Arrange icons by, New folder options' seems disappear.:confused:

How to get back the registry options back

Thanks in Advance

Well if you don't know which keys you deleted it will be hard to get them back.
If you know which ones, you could try and copy them from another computer running exactly the same Version of Windows.
If you are using XP you could enter the Instalaltion Disk and try to do a Repair-Installation
But both options could also make everything worse, only try them as a last option before you are going to reinstall your system anyway.

Before deleting anything from the registry or changing anything you should always rightclick the Key you want to change or delete and export it into a file.
If your change causes something unexpected you can just doubleclick the file, and the old version of the key will be restored!

You can do a system restore back to a time/date when everything was correctly setup

Start, programs, access. system tools, system restore

Pick a date when all working
