• Welcome Guest, to the Spybot Forums! It's 2025, and we just upgraded our forum software.

    Today is Safer Internet Day, and with our new forum, you can finally use passkeys to login. That was about time!

    Of course, you could ask if a forum is still useful, with so many social media networks out there where you might already have an account, and met a lot of users. You can now use your login from some of those networks to log in here. And by posting here, your question and data is stored on our servers and not automatically shared with a whole social media network.

    We'll also start using the forum for small bits of information, announcements and more again.

S&D just told me something was trying to do a registry change and I was typing in another program, it decided that meant that I wanted it to do the change, but I dont know what it was or how to undo it. Is there anyone who can tell Me how to change the change or tell what the change was?

Thanks,
Kathy
 
The actions taken through TeaTimer are recorded in the Resident.log 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
To access that log:
  • Go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced Mode > Tools > Resident.
There is no facility within TeaTimer to 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).

If you would like to post the change that was made/not made perhaps someone can figure out what was happening at the time of the registry change. 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 change you are questioning, then right click and select Copy. Paste (Ctrl+V) the log entries to another post in this thread.
