I have a script that backs up the registry. It can be found @ http://peterszaro.com/downloads/scripts/ First download and run create_dir.bat, it will create the necessary = folders. Then download and save the file reg-backup.bat. I save mine in the = folder 'batch' that is created in create_dir.bat. Then run it. Every time I do something to my system, I run it. It runs for several seconds and will save you when you need it. Saved me plenty of times!!! ------------------------ Peter - http://szaro.net=20 ------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Computer Talk Shop http://www.computertalkshop.com Un-subscribe/Vacation, http://www.computertalkshop.com/list_options.htm List HowTo: http://www.computertalkshop.com/faq.htm To join Computer Talk Shop's off topic list, please goto: http://computertalkshop.com/other_cts_lists.htm ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
