Answer 3

If you must do it, on XP go to start -> run and type "regedit".

DON'T EDIT UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING... YOU ***WILL*** BREAK YOUR COMPUTER.

Now that thats out of the way, if you're having a problem with spyware/malware etc thats affecting the registry, you're better off getting a program that will scan and remove these entries.  It'll be quicker and less damaging than trying to do it manually.

Answer 4

press "start" then "run" type "regedit" you will enter your computer's registry.

Answer 8

What ad- or mal- ware scan that you are using? normally it helps you to remove the malware. you should not have to edit the registry directly.

if the scan tells you that the 'malware' about your home page entry, may be it is because you have set up the home page in your IE other than the default page.... I remember one of the adware scanner keep complaining about this registry....

Otherwise just as the other say, under XP or vista: RUN -> regedit.
