If you boot up, press F8 for the start up menu, and then select Last Known Good Configuration, you previous registry settings should be restored.
If that doesn't work, you can try this...

Registries are fun.  Played with many a registry myself.....and learned how to RELOAD Windows with an expertise unsurpassed by even the likes of Steve here as a result.  lol.
