Minotaton:

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" similar registry changes when they occur. If the "Remember this decision" is not stored then it can't affect future registry changes.

The "Remember this decision" option is not a backup of a registry change. You cannot reverse any Registry change decisions ("Allow change" or "Deny change") that you make with TeaTimer. You have to redo whatever you were doing so that the Registry change is done again, manually edit the registry or do a system restore.

Questions:

• What was the registry change (see note #1)?
• Did you do an "Allow change" or "Deny change"?
• What version of Spybot - Search & Destroy are you running (Spybot > Help > About)?
• What Windows OS are you running?

__________

Note #1: To post the change copy the portion of the Resident.log that shows the change you made:

1. There are several ways (4 listed below) to access the TeaTimer's Resident.log file:
   
   1. Right click on the TeaTimer (Spybot-SD Resident) system tray icon and select Show Log.
   2. Go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced Mode > Tools > Resident.
   3. Go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced mode > Tools > View Reports > View Previous reports. Select the Resident.log file and open it.
   4. Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the Resident.log file located in one of the following directories:
      
      • Windows 95 or 98:
        C:\Windows\Application Data\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Logs
      • Windows ME:
        C:\Windows\All Users\Application Data\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Logs
      • Windows NT, 2000 or XP:
        C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Logs
      • Windows Vista:
        C:\ProgramData\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Logs
      
      Double click on Resident.log file and it should open with Notepad.
2. To copy information from the log into a post in the forum:
   
   1. Copy the information into the Clipboard:
      
      • Highlight the portion of the log that you want to copy.
      • Right click and select Copy.
   2. Paste (Ctrl+V) the information from the Clipboard to a new post in this thread.

How can I fix this? I have windows xp and spybot version 1.5.2.0. Any help you can give me would be really appreciated!

You didn't indicate what you were doing when you denied the registry change. As I tried to indicate above if you did a "Remember this decision" and it is not in TeaTimer's "Black & White List" then the "Remember this decision" has nothing to do with the problem you are having. However, it is very possible denying change the change did.

What were you doing at the time of the registry change you denied?

... How can I fix this? ...

... You have to redo whatever you were doing so that the Registry change is done again, manually edit the registry or do a system restore. ...

If you can't redo what you were doing at the time of the denied registry change, you can try to do a system restore to a restore point before you denied the registry change (5/23/2008 10:52:47).

I really don't remember what I was doing, I can't remember if I was in the windows live website or a different one. I do know that I did not do a "remember decision". I have tried a system restore and I am still having the same problem. I'm just not sure where to go from here. Thanks!

My mistake. I thought that you indicated you did since registry changes only get added to TeaTimer's "Black & White List" by using "Remember this decision" option. From you previous post:

I also accidently blacklisted an item. ...
