Yahoo toolbar was installed on workstaions on our LAN. After uninstalling the program I find that windows registry was modified and client downloads are blocked. How do I reset registry?

Somehow I doubt that the problem that you are seeing has anything to do with Yahoo toolbar.
Sounds like your machine has been hijacked by spyware.

A have to agree with annorax64. Removing the Yahoo toolbar is NOT your problem.
The Windows Registry is constantly being changed. That is quite normal.

Re. the Yahoo toolbar: i take advantage of the Yahoo toolbar too. yet i do not remember on it to sidestep secret agent ware shifting into my device. I easily have 3 layers of safe practices (firewall, antivirus and antimalware) besides the Yahoo toolbar with antispyware. Re. Registry entries to click. Registry entries laid out in all anti-secret agent ware apps are purely "in all likelihood places" of the position secret agent ware ought to write themselves onto your registry. for this reason, deleting them or checking each and each and every of the examine bins is high quality and is possibility-free.

Uninstalling any program will remove registry entries to it, so it's likely normal. But you might try getting a registry cleaner application if you feel paranoid.
RegCleaner is a decent program for this http://majorgeeks.com/RegCleaner_d460.html
Microsoft Regclean is outdated but still a nice program
