Instead of having to click Start, then Run and typing in Regedit, this tweak will add Regedit to the context menu of ‘My Computer’

Open up Notepad and copy the following:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\Regedit]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\Regedit\command]
@=”regedit.exe”

Save the text file and rename it to for example “XP_Regedit_MyComputer_Context”.

Then merge it into the registry by double clicking it.
