I ran TweakUI...and did a little to much 'tweaking'. I received this message on when trying to access a number of things but I am particularly concerned about not being able to access/run Control Panel. Your help would be appreciated.

TweakUI alters the registry - one thing you might try would be to revert to an older registry version (prior to 'tweaking') by

scanreg /restore

Unlike Win98, this can be done from within Windows

Thank you for your advice, I restored registry to a registry before my 'tweaking'. I've learned my lesson well.

Aw, well - TweakUI is a great little interface, but (like anything of that nature) unforeseen results can occur.

I'm glad you got it straightened out
