Community Newsletter: Q&A: back up your registry

back up your registry

(First, a word of WARNING: This week’s answer and some recommendations suggest the task of editing your Windows registry, MAKE SURE you back up your registry in case you do something wrong and need to revert. If you are unfamiliar with this task, keep your hands off and let someone who is experienced in this field perform it. You don't want to accidentally delete/edit a file that is critical to your system--which can/will wreak havoc in your computer. So be cautious and know what you are doing before proceeding! Edit and Delete files in the Windows registry at your own risk. Thank you.)

Now how many times have I seen this warning in many different places. But where is the procedure for doing such an action and then using the backup if it is needed? Using XP, WIN 2000 and WIN 97 on different computers.
