a little help please,
i used this program to remove some old keys that were causing issues but ive removed a key for my kaspaskey safe money add on and now firefox has disabled it,

how do i recover the keys prior? i see the program created a backup of those keys so how do i tell the program to throw them back in the registry? i cant find any help files on it

I think system restore has copies of registry keys, try that...

If the backup has a .reg extension then just double click the file

gzt,

so when i go into the backup folder i just double click on that and it restores the original?

trash key finder is supposed to find just trash lol.. sad ! as the only thing that seemed to fail after was the kaspaskey extenstion .

If it is a .reg file, yes. That ext will give you an 'are you sure' prompt first. In theory the file has only the deleted keys, so only the deleted keys will be restored. Ie; not an entire registry and this is a good thing.
