Bone Head move requires Copy and Edit DAT file

[Guest]

I know I have done the ULTIMATE SIN.
I screwed with the registry without making a backup. The machine boots fine
but won’t allow me to log on, I know where the mistake is (outside of not
making a BACKUP).
Through the recovery council can I copy the DAT file to another p.c. make my
modification than copy it back?
If so How?

You could temporarily connect the hard drive to another XP PC and then use
the hive function of the registry editor in that PC to edit the registry.
See the registry editor help file for details.
