Description:
When you start regedit.exe, it displays the last key you accessed the last time you ran regedit, by default. By using this tweak you are able to stop regedit from remembering previous location. For this, go to start > run menu, enter "regedt32.exe" (not "regedit") and navigate to the registry path listed below. You can create a reg_sz (string value) value "lastkey", if this value does not exist. Now, click permissions on the edit menu. Remove full control access for any user who does not want regedit to display the last key the user accessed in the previous session, and then click ok. (note that if permissions cannot be removed, they may need to be denied.) in the end quit regedit32.exe
