Click on Start... Run... type in Regedit. Click OK. To be safe, save a
copy of your current registry by clicking on File... Export and save it
somewhere you'll remember if you should need to import it back again due to
some problem. Then click on Edit.... Find. Type in the erroneously
spelled name. When it finds one, change it. Then click on F3 (or
Edit...Find Next) to find the next entry. Change that, etc.
