Backing Up The Registry
Microsoft tells us and tells us not to play in the Registry, but do we listen? Nooo, and then we wonder why our computer has grinded to a complete stop. If you must play in the registry, play safe and make a back up before you begin. It wouldn't hurt to run a free pc health check first as well, to see how many errors are on your system before you start hacking one of the most important areas of your computer (did I mention this isn't necessarily a good idea?).
To go about backing up the registry, open the Start menu, and click the Run option. In the Run dialog box, type in regedit, and click the OK button. When the Registry Editor opens, single-click My Computer with the right mouse button, and then select Export. Name the registry back up and save it just as you would a regular file.
