Thanks for the quick reply Will.

I can't see an undo option in regedit and if it does have one, I'm not sure
it would work after closing the program and reopening.
As regards changes to other registry keys, it is a worry but other entries
in the same section
(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion) refer to
xp.
In comments I read by others who have used the utilty (sadly after I had
used it) they seem to think that only the ProductName key is changed, but I
can't be sure :(

not be known, is if any other Registry keys were changed at the same time.

| Hi All,
|
| I tried to use a utility recently which is supposed to change registry
keys
| temporarily while installing a driver.
| Anyway, to cut along story short the utility failed to reset the registry
| key on exit.
| It set the value of the key:
|
| HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\ProductName
|
| to "Microsoft Windows 2000".
| I manually reset the value to "Microsoft Windows XP" using regedit but I
am
| not sure if this is correct.
| I have Windows XP Professional Sp1a so the value of the key could be:
| "Microsoft Windows XP Professional" or "Microsoft Windows XP Professional
| Sp1a" for instance.
|
| Could someone with Windows XP Professional Sp1a please check the value of
| the registry key I mentioned above with regedit?
|
| TIA,
| Dave
|
| P.S. I know I was stupid not backing up the registry, but I trusted the
| utility :(
