OK, all done now.
That was an interesting exercise. I didn't realise you meant option 5 within the Tweaking software. Then when I looked back at your message - at the end of it there happened to be an advert that said Windows Repair and an arrow. I clicked on that and downloaded that software!!! What a co-incidence that when I looked it appeared that was what you were referring to . I just had a look at that same advert again after your message but now it is showing a Taffe advert link. It obviously changes.

Anyway, now I know you meant within the Tweaking software. I found it and have redone the registry. There was no drop down box so thanks for what to do if that box didn't drop down.
I am an aged pensioner and its not always obvious!  Thanks for the help. Hopefully, all good again now.

I clicked on the Windows Repair link you said - and downloaded that - which is called 'Reimage'. There is no options listed at this point. It has scanned my computer and found a issues. I haven't handled them as I am trying to see where an Option 5 is!! I am not a computer wiz, so need to follow exactly what you say.
I can't see any option number 5 anyplace - so do you mean number 5 from the list on the left hand side?  This is the ONLY list or possible anything being offered on the page - and the 5th on the list would be Security check???

Clear faulty files
Install fresh files
Repair damage
Stability check
Security check

Oh I see. You gave me the link after your message. I am so used to ignoring adverts, I missed it. I thought you were referring to Microsoft software that would be on my computer. I have now downloaded it and will do it.

Thanks. Could you just tell me where I find Windows Repair?

Have Windows 7. After seeing good reviews of Tweaking, and although nothing obviously wrong, I decided to have a clean up - as perhaps it could run even better. I followed every step by the book - power deplete, etc etc. Even did pre-scan and handled a few items found there.

BUT now the Search doesn't function at all and the list of programmes has disappeared from Start. Thank heavens I could get to the control panel to a System Restore. That went fine ... except despite a few turn off and restarts, now its taking ages for the laptop to close down or to start again. Have no idea now want to do - as the restore has already been done.
 I know I did a 'back up' before the cleaning started but I don't know IF or How to activate that?
 I should have left well enough alone as this clean up certainly didn't work.
