Omg thanks so Much even tho this is 8 years old it’s still a life saver

[@sitsia3808]

Well regedit doesnt want to open either.. it just opens it resource folder and not the program itself...

[@datblue1104]

[@pakyukaofficial34]

I have the same problem but the UserChoice folder doesn't appear on my registry. Do you have other solution?

[@pazntic]

same

[@RouthBun]

other Solution : you need create new account user in your pc and login to new account to copy file in old account into new account and then delete old account.

[@RouthBun]

Noted. Copy file important that you used. Like in Documents, Pictures, music else.
