Uninstalled Java and LimeWire. Removed 2 Java Maps (C:/ and D:/) that contained Java 1.42.0_2 still. But then...

I typed 'regedit' into Start/Run and it says: "Registry editing has been disabled by your Administrator".

First off, I AM the Administrator.

Second, I disabled Remote Registry in the Services in my Administrative Tools in my Control Panel and still it says so (It's on again now, just for safety reasons).

Third, I have a Registry Cleaner (Program), should I use that perhaps?

I really don't care for registry cleaning programs sometimes they remove things that should not be removed. But I will say go ahead and use it if you have used it before and had no problems.

So you don't know how to de-activate that Admin Veto of me trying to clean up my registry on my own?

EDIT - I used the Registry Cleaner and removed some LW stuff, re-installed, yet it still opens in Black Skin (What if I'd remove that? Where is it located? My Search can't find it) and still has the problem.

This is getting pretty irresolvable, innit? =/

You should be able to change it by going to Start/Control panel/User accounts/Pick a account to change/change my account type then tick computer administrator.

Look ic C:/documents and settings/user name/.limewire/themes

As a matter of fact you just as well delete the .limewire folder again

The fun thing is that I AM Administrator of my Computer

and even funnier is that I have no .limewire map any more.

Funniest of all is that I found a map called LimeWire (No dot) in a hidden map called Application Data. I deleted that, for it contained a map called Themes and, just as with removing the .limewire Map (With dot) I got to choose my options again whilst LW was starting up.

I started without a Black Skin, aka in the default skin, and my search worked again.



What a strange yet wonderful world we live in.
