    Default Tea Time registry changes

    Tea Time denies any registry change I attempt
    to make. The Tea Time windows has no options,
    such as Allow or Delete, present.
    What can I do about this?
    Thanks.

    Please go into Spybot > Help > About. What version of Spybot are you running?

    If you are running Spybot 1.4, you are running an old version of Spybot (Spybot 1.5 is the latest).

    There was a bug in TeaTimer 1.4. Portions of TeaTimer's popup dialog overlay the "Allow change" and "Deny change" buttons. On my system the very top edges of the "Allow change" button (on the left) and "Deny change" button (on the right) are showing and I am still able to select the options. I also can check "Remember this decision" since it is visible. If no portion of the "Allow change" and "Deny change" buttons are showing, you can answer TeaTimer's popup dialog (English language version) by pressing "A" on your keyboard for "Allow change" or "D" for "Deny change". Note: If you close the dialog without answering "Allow change" or "Deny change" the registry change is denied.

    If you can't deal with the problem that way, you can:
    1. Download and install Spybot 1.5.


    2. Apply one of the workarounds found in the following thread that fixes the pop-up dialog so the buttons are visible:


      There are three (3) fixes published in that thread. They are:


      1. The ResHacker fix published by ElPiedra here:
      2. The murdo patch published here:

        Also republished by RuggeR29 (which I have never tried) here:
      3. The patch originally by SyreneD that I published here:

        Also republished by SyreneD himself here:


    3. Disable TeaTimer as follows:
      • Go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced Mode > Tools > Resident.
      • Uncheck the following:
        • Resident "TeaTimer" (Protection of over-all system settings) Active.

    jao_madn:

    If you checked "Remember this decision" on a change, the information concerning that change it is stored in a file. TeaTimer uses that information to automatically "Allow" or "Deny" changes. To edit this information:
    • Right click on the TeaTimer system tray icon and select Settings. This will bring up TeaTimer's "White & Black List". There are four (4) Buttons across the top of the "White & Black List":
      • Allowed processes
      • Blocked processes
      • Allowed registry changes
      • Blocked registry changes

        Note: If you don't see all four buttons, try expanding the window to the right.


      You can review all the entries that you have stored by clicking on these buttons. The entries that you should review are in "Allowed registry changes" and "Blocked registry changes". You can delete entries by clicking on the scripted black "X" to the right of the entry that you want to delete and then clicking the "OK" button when you're done. This will in effect make TeaTimer forget what you told it to remember so that during future changes to these items TeaTimer will issue a pop-up dialog rather then just a notification pop-up.
