backing up registry

[Jen]

I need to back up registry. I did
programs>assessories>system tools, but there is no back
up option after that. All instructions list "backup" as
an option under system tools. Can you help?

 

[milton]

get into the registry...
regedit...
and file export......

What OS are you using. WinXP home doesn't install the backup utility by default. This may be why you don' t have it. It can be install off the OS CD. Here is a link that exlains the process.

By default, backup is not installed in Windows XP Home Edition. You have to
install it.

Jen;
Go to Internet Explorer. Click on Start>Programs>Accessories> System Tools.
Backup should be there , along with Defrag , System Restore , etc.
If it isn't , then possibly you will find it on your CD that came with your
PC, in the " value added" group and just has yet to be loaded.
If this doesn't help , reply back to this string.

While that will perform the requested function, when you import the
registry, it combines the imported registry with the current registry adding
a lot of bloat.

There are several free utilities that handle this function without that
drawback, check the following:
