How to back-up Registry?

Laughingstar~*

I have a back-up CDRW but don't recall how I did that one. It's time to do
it, I think, of should I do it...

Have XP Pro, Office 2003, all updates current, Windows Firewall ON, Avast,
Ad Aware (just removed Spybot b/c I'm blind and couldn't control it easily
with adaptive software). Thank you very much.

Ouch; KUDOS for operating a computer. I can't begin to
appreciate the kind of problems you have.

To back up the Registry, use nt backup. Choose the
backup Wizard and then choose to back up the System
State. From there it will do everything for you. The
System State includes the Registry and all of the
support files necessary to boot and run a computer.
You are right to back this up periodically. I do mine
whenever I install any software or programs.

Feel free to request clarification if needed.

Regards,

monitor)...just tell me where to find "nt backup" --

Operating isn't a problem; maintain is. I'm a writer--or try...

Thank you, very much.

Normally to start backup, you click Start; Programs;
Accessories; System Tools; backup. When the program
starts, click Backup Wizard, Advanced, then Next, click
the third choice which is Only back up the system
state, and then click Next.

Then click Browse, and Cancel when it tells you to
put a disk in Drive A, and finally choose a backup
location from the explorer like window that appears.
You cannot back up to CD or DVD; it has to go to a disk
drive then copy to DVD or CD later if you need to.
Choose a drive and folder, click Save, Next and Finish.
At that point it will start the backup.

Gee, that's a lot of words; I hope you can follow that
well on the computer.

Should you need the information, the backup program's
exe is located in C:\windows\system32 as ntbackup.exe.
It can be run from there by double clicking on it but
that is a huge folder with hundreds of files in it.

Hope this helps,

PS - It may take 5 minutes or so to complete the
backup, depending on the speed of your machine and the
size of the files.

Here is a quicker way to start the backup program:

Start; Run; enter "ntbackup" in the program to run box
and click OK. It will then open for you.

Use ERUNT. It makes a complete backup of the registry every day when you
boot. It keeps 30 backup copies. That should be enough.

Understand, but the web site's a bit confusing for a "Screen Reader." I
haven't a clue where to "START" and I'm in the USA. ;-))
