Tags: Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file., i ran a program called regsweep that found 4000 registry entires i have backup it still won't work!
I ran a program called regsweep and it found over 4000 Errors in my registry i removed all the green ones that means they are safe to remove and I also backed up all everything before i made the changes. Now I can't open any exe's and my Internet Explorer Setting are set so high i can't even download files anymore It says something like "Your Security setting are set to high to download this type of file." Also when i try to login to Administrator in Safemode it just sits there it does'nt load anything!

I can't understand what has happened I tried restoring the backup that the regsweep program made and that still did not fix the problem. I have the original .reg file and I am going to attach it to this request in .txt format please see if you can find out what registry entry i deleted so i can replace it.

The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.
