Re: Change in registry...consquences??

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Anything in HKEY_CURRENT_USER relates to the current user that is logged on.

Anything in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE is machine wide. No matter who is logged on.

If you are the only user, no problem. If you are not the only user, still
no problem.

Hi all,


because of a problem in microsoft outlook 2003 i searched and found a
solution on microsoft knowledge base.

Unfortunately, i made a little mistake when changing a registry key the
article suggested to.

The instructions told me to delete the key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Protected Storage System Provider

but i also deleted the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Protected Storage System Provider

what will be the consequences of having deleted the latter registry
key? I have experienced none so far, but I would be interested to konw
if there are substantial differences between this key and the one I was
supposed to delete.


Thanks in advance
