Backup the XP Registry
If you plan on doing any editing to the Windows XP Registry, it is a very good idea to make a backup first. It is also a good idea to keep a backup anyway, just in case something goes wrong, you can always roll back to a properly working registry.
OK, here is a quick way to backup your registry:
1) Start -> Run -> Type “regedit” and click “OK”
2) You should now have the Registry Editor open
3) Select “File” -> “Export”
4) Type a name for your backup and select where you would like to save the registry
5) Under “Export Range” click the “All” button
6) Then click “Save”
Thats it, your Windows XP Registry is now backed up!!
