Hi, okay I messed up... I need some help fixing a problem I created. I had a virus "ave.exe" and while removing it from my reg I accidentally deleted the ".exe folder" now I cant get back into my registry or anything for that matter can anyone tell me how I can fix this issue if at all? Without doing a re-install????

The registry is a relational database. Therefore it is not enough to have the elements present, you need to have the context.
On a Windows box, I have always used CCleaner as my front line on registry errors as it prompts me to make a functional backup of my registry (while cleaning gunk... when run recursively).
I am SOO hoping that you backed up the registry BEFORE you started changing it.
