Solved need registry file

[jack of some]

Hello this is my first post here
I have lost registry info. because I didn't backup the registry before editing
If someone having vista basic with service pack 2
if you would open regedit and go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.manifest
right mouse click on .manifest and export the file to somewhere on your computer
and then upload it to this thread
so that I can import it into my registry, I will be able to fix my registry and be grateful to you.

If uploading that file to this thread cannot be done
then opening the exported registry file with notepad and copy and paste that here would do to.
thanks in advance.

Welcome
It would be much easier to use Sysem Restore

Just go back before the problem

thanks
trouble is I messed up the .manifest registry file a few days ago and have done
a lot of updating since then
a system restore would cause me more work.

Sorry about that. The best that we can do is wait for other members to read your post. I have Seven.
After you are up and running you may want to download macrium reflect and make a back up of your OS on a regular basis. You will never have this problem again.

Hello jack of some and welcome to the forums

Here you go:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.manifest]
@=""
"PerceivedType"="system"

I added in the default value because it's good practise to use it
