I have a couple things I was wanting to change in the registry, opened regedit, made my changes and when I reboot nothing seems to change. I reopen the editor and my changes are still there.

One is the safely remove icon for my sata drive and the other is the userimages.bmp that pops up when you start nero7.

What keys did you change? And from what value to what value?

This is what I found for sata,
To convince Windows to treat my SATA devices as non-removable I located the key

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\nvata64

in the registry and created a DWORD value named DisableRemovable with value 1 under it. For the 32-bit version of the Nvidia drivers, you'd create the same value under

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\nvata


And this for nero,

Neither of these seemed to do anything.
