Use the Registry Editor

1. To run the Registry Editor, click the Microsoft Windows Start button, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
2. Navigate to the appropriate registry subkey. The two main subkeys that contain settings that affect Microsoft Access are:

   \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE
   \Microsoft\Office\10.0\Access

   \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE
   \Microsoft\Jet\4.0

   If there is a plus (+) to the left of the subkey, that registry subkey contains additional subkeys. To edit a registry subkey's value, double-click the subkey in the left pane of the Registry Editor window to open it, and then double-click the value you want to edit in the right pane of the Registry Editor window. In some cases, you may need to add new subkeys or values. For information on how to add new subkeys and values, use the Registry Editor Help.
