IF you un install the software that has securom with it. You will have to do a full reformat of your computer.
You are seriously misinformed. I strongly suggest you read the first thread stickied in this forum that tells you how to remove SecuROM without having to reformat. And playing with the registry is a very bad thing if you don't know what you're doing, and in all my years in the computer field, I never heard of anyone disabling rather than removing stuff from the registry. Probably because it's a really bad thing to do.
And a work of advice -- if you don't like the advice you're given, don't keep demanding new answers. The definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Read more, talk less, and do engage your fucking brain first.

Do you know of what I am asking??? Do you know how to use the registry??? I have googled it and have searched but nothing concrete. To the post above this one. IF you un install the software that has securom with it. You will have to do a full reformat of your computer. I would just like to know if anyone has ever used this section of any software in the registry and if they ever did a disable, and did it keep it disabled?
Excessive punctuation much???????!!!
Feeling frustrated? Feeling out of sorts? Not able to use the "Search" function at the top of the page? Not able to ask for help nicely? Feel like getting poked with sharp pointy sticks?
Come to maty, we've got your sharp pointy sticks right here.

I have read that the only way to get it completely off after un installing lets say a game is to do a full format of your hard drive. I understand that it is confusing about this protection software. I agree with removing instead of disabling. I was hoping that it could be done. Guess there is no real answer to this. Well I can tell you this if you try to disable it by using the security section of this perticular program, nothing bad happens. I have tried that much I can still play a game that has it.
Thanks for you info it is greatly noted. Thanks

Where, oh where, is a bunny with a pancake on its head when you need one?
@OP - Please, oh please, if you're going to keep posting, at least read the FAQ! Especially the bit about how NOT to post. It may have some tips that could help you with your quoting of previous threads, rather than annoying the resident ravening inMATYs.

You read wrong. It is entirely possible to remove SecuRom from your computer without reformatting and without removing the game. As has been pointed out already, the instructions are here: http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,9929.0.html and here: http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,9559.0.html
As for your question about fiddling with security options and the registry, the answer is NO.
