Windows XP Home Edition registry backup

[Eric Dunn]

Hello,

I used "Windows Registry Backup and Restore Guided Help" to backup the
entire registry into a backup file - RegBack.bkf.

This file can be restored using Windows Backup/Restore. However, the XP Home
edition prohibits the use of Backup/Restore.

So how do I restore the registry???

Or there is another way of backing up and restoring the entire registry?

Thanks!

Have a look at Erunt:

The freeware program ERUNT is a very popular and very good registry
backup/restore choice.

You can get ntbackup.exe from an install CD. It can restore your file.

I use Ntbackup to save the system state which saves the registry and its
friend to a backup file of my choice. Ntbackup can also restore system
state.
