- 1). Create a new system restore point before tinkering with your Windows registry. Click on the "Start" menu, select "All Programs," "Accessories," "System Tools" and "System Restore." The program will guide through the steps to create a new system restore point, as well as enable the restoration of your system to the restore point should your registry become unstable because of your registry edits or deletions.
- 2). Open the registry editor. Click "Start," "Run," "Open" and type in "regedit." The registry editor will open and contain two windows. The window on the left will allow you to navigate through the various registry files. The window on the right will display the contents of the selected file.
- 3). Select the registry file that you wish to remove. Once the file is selected, delete the registry by either right-clicking on the file, tapping the "delete" key or selecting the "edit" option from the toolbar at the top of the screen.
