Backing up and restoring the RegistryWindows stores all its important settings in the Registry. Learn how to back up this vital component under Windows 9x/Me, and how to restore it if something goes wrong. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Topic links: automatic backups manual backups restoring the registry Windows stores information about how it is configured in a centralised database called the Registry. The Registry not only contains information about how Windows is set up on your PC, but also how each application you have installed is configured. Storing all this information centrally makes it easy to adjust settings and keep track of configuration information, but it makes for one giant vulnerability in the operating system. If your Registry gets damaged your system may be rendered unusable. Even minor Registry errors can cause programs to crash or behave erratically. That’s why whenever you use the Registry Editor (regedit) to change settings within the Registry, you’re admonished to make a backup first. No doubt you’ve seen this warning frequently. That’s all very well, but what do you do if something does go wrong with your Registry? How do you restore that backup? Windows gives you a variety of ways to recover from a damaged Registry.
