Backup registry 1

[jason12776]

This might be a dumb question, but how would I go about backing up the registry, then possible restoring it for a Windows 2000 machine. I'm going to be doing some changes and want to make sure I have the backup in place, ready to go. I found how do to it in Windows 98, but cannot find anything for Windows 2000. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Jason

Use Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Backup to backup the registry

OR

Open the registry and select File, Export, To Desktop, before you change it. Thanks,

The Emergency Repair Disk (ERD) is the nicest way to repair a registry after destructive changes.

Always have current ERD's on hand. I back up mine on a monthly basis on all my servers, and my w2k pro. Glen A. Johnson
