I was just reading a metalink article yesterday that suggests that you forget 
trying to set TNS_ADMIN in the registry, and set it as an environment variable 
instead.  In my Win2000 system, that means go to control panel, system, choose 
the Advanced tab, press the environment variables button.  The article also 
recommends that you create a directory outside of any of your Oracle_Homes and 
put the network configuration files there, with the appropriate setting of 
TNS_ADMIN.  That way, if you reinstall, upgrade, delete, or otherwise hose an 
Oracle Home, your network settings will be unharmed.
