Can’t someone just use system restore and the old registry will have all the usb info in it or does this get rid of system restore usb info

My phone wasn’t recognized by Windows 7 so I ended up in UPDATE DRIVER SOFTWARE window (search for driver software in this location).
Everytime I tried a location, it remembers the location.
How to clear the history of searched locations?
Thanks anyway!

Lost the ability for AnyDVD and AutoRun to work with my SATA DVD/BR drives. Tried to reinstall the .reg files, gives permission error. The apps behave like the drive isn’t there. VLC can’t play them any more either.
I will try to divide and conquer sections of the reg file. Any hints what sections might be involved? I don’t see any references in the reg file to D: or F: drives.
Mountpoints? Muicache? Autoplay Handlers?
I also tried System Repair, no change.
Currently running Win10 installed on top of Win7.
It seems that most of the garbage is USB related.
Thanks

In reply to raj. Restore the backed up file which the program creates. Else restore your computer back to a good point.
