How the previous post ended up looking the way it did is beyond me.
Bottom line Bobbi; don't worry about it. You didn't do anything wrong.

| Ho Bobbi,
|
| Now I understand. What you did was no different than opening Windows
| Explorer, and beginning to explore wh
at'sonyourcomputer.Itisshownas
| a tree, with the current open folder shown in the right pane. All you did
| was expand the tree. If you want to collapse the tree back down, just go
| back to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ and click on the little minus sign.
|
| You can also just leave things as they are, and close regedit.

| || Hi, Curt-
||
|| First, I accidentally clicked on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SECURITY, and the
|| following appeared in the right pane: (Default) REG_SZ (value
| not
|| set)
|| I closed regedit and reopened it, but the key was still there in the
right
|| pane.
||
|| I wasn't able to find the key Newbie specified and didn't know how to
| create
|| it. I decided to try to open another, random key (to see if the original
| key
|| would go away. It didn't, and the second key appeared in the right pane
in
|| addition to the first. The second key was
|| HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Non-Driver Signing:
|| and in the right pane is now Policy REG_BINARY 00
|| in addition to the first key.
||
|| What would you suggest now?
||
|| (After I gave up on the registry edit I used Kelly's solution, and it
|| worked.)
