Making a Backup
Always make a backup of the Windows Registry before you modify any settings. You can
backup the entire Registry by copying System.dat and User.dat or by exporting a single
portion of the Registry using REGEDIT.
Back up by Exporting a Portion of the Registry
1. Click the Start button, click Run, and type
REGEDIT. Click OK.
2. In the Registry Editor, select the key you want to back up.
3. From the Registry menu, choose Export Registry File.
4. In the Save In list, select the folder where you want to save the
backup.
5. In the File Name box, type a name for your backup file, such as
"Options"
or "Backup."
6. In the Export Range box, be sure that "Selected branch" is
selected.
7. Click Save. The file is saved with a .reg extension. |
