Sure.
Browse to the c:\windows directory and double click on regedit.exe.

Just scrolled up and noticed you are on a win95 PC. What version of IE are you using?
You may need to upgrade to version 5.0 to get the options on the right click--> properties.
What problems are you having, Their may be a easy way to corect them rather then going through all this.

danl23 please don't make it a habit to use someone else's question to ask another question, for it makes this forum messy. put your question separate by using "Post your message!" at the bottom of the forum page.

xxx I agree with the principle of not nicking someone else's post, clearly not the best way forward....
But wait a minute. Dan123 IS the original poster on this one, so I reckon it's reasonable to extend his question if he so wishes.
Dan123 You can write .reg files that write and delete keys without involving the Run box (if that's what you mean).
Even better you then invoke these with a batch file using:
regedit /s zzzz.reg (where zzzz.reg is your reg file).
This avoids the yes/no question you get if you just use the reg file on it's own.
