Can anyone give me a clue how to resolve this error
message? Cannot import root.reg:Not all data was
successfully written to the registry. Some keys are open
by the system or other applications

Many thanks!!

Start\Settings\Control Panel\Administrative Tools\Computer
Management(Local)\System Information\Software Environment\Startup
Programs|View|Advanced, then in the "Location" column, you'll find the path
to the "Startup" location either in the "Startup" directories or from the
registry's "Run" keys.

%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
%USERPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

You can delete the shortcuts that you no longer want to run.


HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

You can delete the string value for the program you no longer want to run.

There is no real resolution. Some registry keys cannot be updated while
the system is running. That's one reason why exporting the registry with
regedit is not an effective means of backup.

I dunno. With a name like "root.reg" I'd think a quite reasonable
solution is to remove it and scan. After an export of the key of
course. :-)
