Give it a sensible name and remember where you save it. Then delete the key, and reboot. If it works - that's great. If not you can double click the file to reinstall the service to the registry. ** Messing with the registry can ruin your whole day. If anything above doesn't make sense to you right now then you probably shouldn't try this.** If you want to be able to reinstall the service, and you’re confident with Regedit this is what I’ve done in the past:
