3D Movie Maker: How to Reset the Talent Book (139495)

SUMMARY

You may want to reset the Talent Book in order to search again within KidSpace for the lost pages from the Talent Book. Or, you may wish to reset the program to the default settings. To do this, you must edit the registry.

RESETTING THE TALENT BOOK

To reset the Talent Book, use the following steps:

1. If you're running 3D Movie Maker, exit the program.
2. Click Start, then click Run.
3. Type Regedit on the Command Line and press OK.

WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall Windows 95. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be resolved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

For information about how to edit the registry, use the on-line Help in Registry Editor, then go to the Changing Keys And Values Help topic. You should make a backup copy of the registry files (System.dat and User.dat) before you edit the registry.

1. From the Registry menu, click Export Registry File.
2. Type Registry Backup, then click "All" in the Export Range area, and click Save.
3. Locate and open the registry key shown below:

      HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft Kids\3D Movie Maker
   						

4. (Optional) If you'd like to have the option of restoring the current Talent Book, export the 3D Movie Maker key from the registry. After you've done this, when you want to restore the Talent Book as well as any other settings you had for the program at the time you exported the 3D Movie Maker key (including the Registry entries listed in the More Information section below), simply double-click the icon of the exported 3D Movie Maker registry file (or import it from within the Registration Editor, Regedit.exe).
5. Delete the key, "UserData."

IMPORTANT: Deleting the UserData value also cause McZee's introductory demo to play the next time you run the program.

By design, McZee's introductory demo plays only the first time the application is run. However, deleting the UserData value resets this value. Resetting this value may be desirable if you want to install and test the program but then later want to play the introduction the first time your child uses the program.
