deleted from regedit, oops!

[Guest]

I need to uninstall some software using regedit, which I have instructions
for, but I accidently deleted the file from regedit instead. Now it is no
longer in regedit but still on my hard drive. I need to put it back in
regedit so I can uninstall it properly. I have tried "Import keys from hives"
and "Import registry file", but when I get to selecting the correct file name
that I want to put into the registry, I am stumped. Its Coral software, but I
can't find the exact file name. And I'm not even sure if I'm doing the right
thing anyway. If you respond to this, the right side of my screen is cut off
on this webpage, making it a little hard to read the end of lines, so if you
shorten your lines, that would be helpful. Thanks!

Are you saying that before you deleted it, you exported the keys? Because
if you did not - then your only way of ever properly removing that software
is to reinstall it and then uninstall it.

Hi,

If this is recient, use System Restore. This will restore the registry.

I didn't export the keys before I deleted. I am trying to get rid of
promotional software put on my computer by the company I bought my computer
from. The software is not completely installed, and I don't have the cdrom
for it. I am not able to install or uninstall the software through the
control panel, so I was going to uninstall it through regedit, but I
accidently deleted it instead. The software is still on my hard drive.
