Vista Registry

[Zygy]

There is a link for activities on the Registry for XP and previous Windows,
but I cannot find one for Vista.

Will someone (with more knowhow than I) please advise me either what is the
link, or tell me how to make a backup of the Registry.

If I make a backup and then whilst removing unwanted files make a mistake,
how do I activate the Backup? Will the activation of backup also restore the
removed files?

Huh?

Are you talking about System Restore? It's listed under All Programs,
Accessories, System Tools.

If you need a third-party backup, Google "erunt".

If I make a backup and then whilst removing unwanted files make a mistake,
how do I activate the Backup? Will the activation of backup also restore the
removed files?

Neither System Restore nor Erunt will protect you from making a
mistake when deleting files.

Many thanks for the link. However the Erunt web is so complicated that I
failed to find the download. Which heading do you download from?

You really _do_ need to learn how to use Google:

I Googled "erunt".

This was the third in the list, and the first to mention "download":

There is a big box on the left with a large title 'ERUNT'.
Then there is some writing underneath that.

At the top of the next box under the first box it says ' Download ERUNT'

Click on Server 1
OR click on Server 2
OR click on Server 3.

Some people need you to come to their house and click their mouse for
them <sigh>

Hi, Sorry for the misunderstanding. what I wanted to know is which do I
download
Server 1 or Server 2 or Server 3? The explanation for each is in German and
mine from the Concentration camp days is now bit rust!

I decided to get a Professional to do the modifications of the Registry, but
I want to have the Erunt download ready for him, so which do I download?

<sigh> If you haven't figured that out yet with two of us giving you
exact links and instructions, then you'd better leave that to the pro
too.

In your previous posting you give me a choice of 1 and then you say or 2 or
3! So, which is the best or are they all the same in which case why are
there three choices?- that is all I want to know!

You can't follow simple instructions. I'm done with you.

It wasn't Nonny that gave you the choice of three, it was me - Dave.

I said :

Click on Server 1
OR click on Server 2
OR click on Server 3.

The fact that I said OR should indicate that either 1 OR 2 OR 3 are OK.

Any ONE of the three choices is the file you want.

I gave the <bleep> a direct link to a majorgeeks.com page with clear
choices of several download places.

A 5-year-old could have downloaded from there.

Hi, At last someone with some kindness in his and Nonny's heart. Thank you
both for helping out and I hope that the others when they are old and by
then dealing with new technology will get the same help as they gave me.
