Registry backup.

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)

Greetings,

To backup the Registry please follow these steps below:

1) Start > Run
2) Type in "regedit" (without the quotes)
3) Go on File "Export" and choose your path where you want to save it to.

*This may take some time to backup, leave your pc idle for a few mintues*

You can import a registry file just by following the steps above, you just
have to choose "Import"

Thanks and best of luck!

Hi Ben,

No, not really. The registry is a dangerous place, newbie or not, and
working with it should be a last resort.
