Topic: Prevent programs from suggesting changes to my default search provide

I have asked: is there anyone please who knows the tweak for "Prevent programs from suggesting changes to my default search provider". I have tried to change it manually and see what are the changes in the register but without success.
Thanks

And one man has answered:
Adding and removing that checkmark makes Binary Data changes in the
following Key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\User Preferences
"6256FFB019F8FDFBD36745B06F4540E9AEAF222A25"
Type: REG_BINARY

The problem: I have tried it but without success because i have done the changes then i have exported the key in the registry editor. But when i wanted to double click on the key exported, it tells me:
Can not import C:\...
"Not all data was successfully written to the registry. Some keys are open by the system or other processes"

Would anyone please to tell how to fix it? Thanks

Try booting in safe mode and then apply the .REG?
Provided the format of the fileis all correct, it heeds a proper "header" and all such.
