emerglines Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 I found TWINUI under..HKEY_CURRENT_USER \Software \Microsoft \Windows \CurrentVersion \ Explorer \TWinUIAfter taking backup,deleted them, restarted the system.. but no effect.. :( FileExts is where most of apps that appear under the "Open With" option, so if you delete the TwinUi in another place your OS may not boot cause TwinUI is related to all apps and its related to all the OS theme system, be sure to search only under FileExts if you don't find nothing under that you will use this toolhttp://www.nirsoft.net/utils/regscanner.htmlSearch for TwinUI and give me the result to see where we will delete that key.Note: Where you finish the search just right click over the result and export them by clicking "HTML Report - All Items" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
