Registry edits get reverted after reset

Does anybody know why this happens:
Whenever I change registry (for example HKCU\Control Panel\SIP\..), after reboot it gets reverted to original value.
I used Total Commnader. Roms I tried: 2.17 (qtek) and 2.24 (cingular).
Help appreciated.
Thanks.

after changing your registry, be sure to save the changes by a soft reset. To do this, do NOT poke the reset hole with your stylus, but rather shut the device down with the on/off button. Hold it for 5 secs untill the warning pops up. By resetting this way, your device uses the 5 secs untill the screen pops-up to write the registry to the ROM. If you soft reset immediately with your stylus after chaning the registry, the device has not enough time to write the changes to the ROM. Therefore, after a quick soft reset with your stylus changes might not be saved and the registry remains unchanged.

Problems with Registry settings
I also have problems with Registry settings. For instance some values seems to change back after a turn off/on (power button). Does anyone have a good doc/link that explains which Registry settings that actually can be changed by CAB-files and stay changed ?
Just to mention - on an SP5 (sorry for this in Wizard/K-JAM) I had a CAB-file that changed the Contacts soft-button into starting a 3rd party application. This only changed when an incomming call/phone application was started..a little confused about that

Soft Keys

Hey guys hope everyone is doing ok today, just got a quick question about the soft keys. I have just flashed my ROM to RUU_Molski.Biz_226102_22610105_022511_G4_WWE its an excellent rom and would recommend it!
Just one thing tho i have CoPilot the sat nav prog on here and i like to set it to the left soft key so i can just load it quickly. Since i flashed the ROM when i press the left soft key it says "error opening shortcut or locating target filename" just wondering if anyone knows how i could fix this?
Many thanks

More info required.
How to you set the softkey? program or via registry hack? value?

well i set the softkey through the little softkey thing in settings and co pilot was in the list ok it just doesn't seem to work when i click the softkey. Is it a reg setting i need to change?

That is weird, the softkey software should work perfectly. Unless you move the thing away from the application start menu.
Anyway, take a look at the wiki at
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WM5_Tweaks_Other
On the section "Change the application launched by Today screen Soft Keys"
For your case, set it up using the Softkey application, and go into the registry (with any reg edit software) and look at the value of
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\Open
See what is the value being set to.
If it is set to the shortcut, try setting it to the exact EXE file.

How to get rid of: stk_uippc.exe (Fun & Info)

When I open Programs I always have an shortcut named: "Fun & Info".
I know it's a shortcut to the file: stk_uippc.exe
Is there any way to get rid of this icon? I don't mind that the file keeps existing in the Windows directory.
I tried delete the shortcut but it keeps coming back after a soft reset.

Think I've found it myself, but I wanted to share it with my fellow forum members
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\STK_Service]
"Keep"=dword:00000001
Changed to:
"Keep"=dword:00000000
That's all!

Thanks for the info, but after changing it in the registry my phone starts up very slow than before. It takes about 2,5 times longer, about 4 minutes. (After I shut it down and switch it on again, or when using a soft reset)
If I change it back again in the registry to "1" (Decimal) my phone starts up at normal speed..... (about 1,5 minutes)
Is this normal, or am I doing something wrong?

On WM6 I've noticed that it doesn't change no matter what value I set in the regsitry.
I've tested it and it works perfect for me:
Just delete the complete "STK_Service" key. After this I soft reset my phone. Make sure you have removed the STK Shortcut of course
If you want to restore the key I suggest you export the key before deleting it!

Thanks for the fast reply. Just tried and it works.
Btw, do you know how to get Fring working with Orange world / proxy?
I can't get past the initial registration due to the message: internet connection is not available.
I can use IE and browse the internet with no problems.
Sorry if it's not the right topic to post the question.

Indeed a bit off topic.. ..try searching the forum
TIP:

Works much better than the build in search.

What's the Registry key? Write a quick script to get rid of it, and place it in your startup directory. I can do that for you if you'd like...

I'm not sure it would solve the problem, because if I change the state of the registry key, I have to soft reset the Touch to apply changes and during the boot process maybe the regsitry is changed.
For example, I installed PMC Today Shrink which is supposed to get rid of this tray and as you can see on the screenshot, I have both tray (with intellisync icon) and today tray (with Action and Contact).

Have tried an application called "startup manager" I've seen it here, but I can't seem to find it.
You should give it a go.

HD2 crashes at soft reset after registry tweak has been done.

It happens every time I did a soft reset after applied some sweet (didn't get the chance to feel...) Tips and Tricks on registry tools (Resco Registry Editor btw...).
one huge question, DO I Really need to "UNHIDE" every files on my HD2 before perform any Registry Editing?
HOpe for speedy reply!
Cheers,

b.u.m.p!

more detail..
"it crashes".... how? does it hang at boot, freeze on home screen, what? we arent psychic
why would you need to unhide files to edit the registry? how are you applying the tweak?

alright. After did the tweaks with Resco Registry Editor. You have to soft reset them in order to take effect right? I did just that and just right after phone trying to load HTC sense, it doesn't make it through. the only button I can press was contact, phone, battery icon, signal icon. that's it. Not even the START button works. Message appeared on the screen was "Unable to locate "poutlook"...."
Oh one more thing. Do we need to wait for several minutes after we've done the registry tweaks before soft reset, ? will this prevent from
