Before you make this change to the registry, please back it up. An excellent way to do this is to install ERUNT.
Let it add an entry to your Start menu during the install process. That
will allow ERUNT to backup your registry each time you boot. It only
takes a few seconds and has no real impact on boot time. Run ERUNT
immediately after installing it to create a full registry backup. Please save the backup to: C:\Windows\erdnt.
Then if something is deleted that shouldn't have been, simply go to the C:\Windows\erdnt
folder and pick the erdnt.exe wanted to restore the registry to it's
state when it was backed up. This can even be done from the Recovery
Console if needed

Next, please set a System Restore point.
