Because of the distortion of the pop-up alert box to a registry change, after checking the "remember this setting box" I guessed wrong and clicked the "deny" instead of "allow". I am now aware of the fix for this box, but what I can't figure out is how to undo this erroneous entry. The FAQ has instructions on how to edit the Black and white list, but when I click on "Settings" as instructed, the resulting screen shows no listing of entries. When I go to Tools in the main window and click on "resident" I can see in the log file the "denied" entry. Can anyone advise me as to how I can undo this mistake?
thanks

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 (or manually edit the Registry).

You can remove "Remember this decision" entries but that does not change or reverse registry entries, it only affects the way that TeaTimer handles future registry changes.
__________________

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":
[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. 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.

You indicated that you checked "Remember this decision" and then did the "Deny change". There should be an entry in TeaTimer's "White & Black List" under "Blocked registry changes". I suggest that you remove that entry.

If you post the portion of the Resident.log file that shows the registry change that you denied in error, perhaps someone can help you reverse the affects of the denial. To do that:
Go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced Mode > Tools > Resident.
Page (scroll) to the bottom of the listing and highlight a portion of the log that shows the denied registry change.
Then right click and select Copy.
Paste (Ctrl+V) the log entries to another post in this thread.
