How to find Registry subkey: <span title="HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell">HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directo...</span> ?

Question

Using regedit, can find: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, but not: HKEY_ CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell. The "\Directory\shell" part is no where to be found! How to find it???

Answer 1

Did you scroll down far enough?  

Answer 2

More than likely, you didn&#039;t scroll past the names with a period in them.  It should be there between DirectFrame and DirectPlay.

** Advanced... don&#039;t do this if you don&#039;t know what you&#039;re doing --- You can also add the key by making a .reg file with the following in it:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell]

@=&quot;none&quot;

NOTE:  99% of the time this will already be in there and you will have subsections under it...so don&#039;t do that unless you really don&#039;t have it ... Also note that Yahoo Answers will probabaly concatenate the whole line above... if you hover over, you will see that it is complete though.

Answer 3

do NOT s***w with the registry. Seriously, don&#039;t. there&#039;s too much room for error.
