Mike I went to the backup utility and tried selecting just the registry but it won't let me do that (or I don't know how). It appears that I can only back up System State which includes the registry but this will take several hours and I don't know how many CD's. Is there a way to just back up the registry? There used to be as I had your tutorial on that several years back and it seemed really easy.
