The Windows 2000 and ME version of regedit includes a new feature to remember the last key that was accessed before the program was closed. This script stops regedit from remembering the last key and instead opens regedit at the top “My Computer” folder.
Create a shortcut on your desktop to this script and double-click on it to launch regedit without the last key memory.
To copy the script either use the download link above or cut and paste the following code into a text document and name it regedit.vbs
‘ Begin code for regedit.vbs
Dim WSHShell
Set WSHShell=Wscript.CreateObject(“Wscript.Shell”)
WSHShell.RegDelete “HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Regedit\LastKey”
WSHShell.Run “REGEDIT”
