How do I back up the registry so that I can
replace it if something goes wrong, or if I
just want to reverse any adjustments.

Regards, Frank

with that ol' feature
called system restore.

This app is highly regarded and I don't know why the MVP's don't
suggest it.

Thank you for all replies. The "System
Restore" is sure hard to find. Can't it be
put on the desktop as a shortcut?

Yes. Go to C:\Windows\System32\Restore, and right click on rstrui.exe
Drag out to desktop, and click "Create shortcut here".
