Hmm. How do I get to RegEdit again? I am using Vista. If it were XP I am sure I could find my way.. but I never know with Vista.

*edit* Sorry nazerine, I can use google to figure this out myself! My bad.

start menu/ run, type in regedit

In vista, just type it in the "start search" under programs in the start menu

Let me know how it goes!

Some other neat tricks for windows:

WindowsKey + R = Run Box
WindowsKey + E = Explorer
WindowsKey + D = Show/Hide Desktop

If you're using Aero desktop in Vista, try out WindowsKey + Tab
