I agreed to add the following to my registry by clicking on the .reg file with the following content shown below. The result is that my toolbar / taskbar with shortcuts to word,excel and so on don't work, but all attempt to open their program code in notepad. Can I simply find all the below keys below in the registry editor and delete them, or is there some other way to get my toolbar working??? Any help is greatly appreciated.



REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Edit]
@="Edit file in &Notepad"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Edit\command]
@="C:\\windows\\command\\notepad.exe \"%1\""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\compile]
@="&Compile file with latex"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\compile\command]
@="\"C:\\texmf\\miktex\\bin\\latex.exe\" \"%1\""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.tex]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.tex\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.tex\shell\compile]
@="&Compile latex document"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.tex\shell\compile\command]
@="\"C:\\texmf\\miktex\\bin\\latex.exe\" \"%1\""

There are a number of comparable conflicts with the Office Shortcut Bar.

Just launch Regedit, navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\* , and delete the Shell subkey.

You probably won't even need to reboot.
