Wow, that was a quick 10min b4 'cant edit message ! 1st time for that one. Guess will need to start typing faster !

Ps:
Maybe can use previous post* process to put back list ?
What backup file can we get that list from ?

Hi

Was this a manual list you added or one from an application like Spywareblaster or Spybot S&D?

If it is an app like those, re-install the app, should add the list back, but also an export of that location from someone else with same Windows version and importing it back in should work as well.

*edit time for forum has been that long for many many years.

Thanks for the reply and clarification question.
Subject question was referring to list created with IE Tools / Internet Options interface where add sites manually for block or allow.

*hadnt remembered the short timeline for edit post, and this seemed more like 10sec, but thats what happens when you start medicare.

If the key you exported and edited is still on the desktop, it should have a .reg extension. If it doesn't open it again, and click File save as then name it as a .reg file.
Click the .reg file and you get a popup which asks if you want to import or merge with the registry. Say yes and all the sites are back in the registry.

Thanks for the reply.
The exporting process I mentioned was done some years back.
Just noticed the blank list, and was hoping to be able to find a file (.dat or whatever) in my computer backups, going back a few months/years, that would have the most current list for export/import.
