<<Most of the registry is perfectly safe to work in. In fact, it's actually
kinda hard to hose a system from there. Work with a it a while and you'll
start to (believe it or not) see the patterns of how it's organized and be
able to stay out of trouble easily.

And if you want to know more about the registry and what it can do...join
Vic's WinTips&Tricks group...I may be a bit prejudiced, but I think Vic is
one of the most clever registry whizzes I've ever come across.....I am
always amazed at the tricks he teaches about this

Join his group here..but be warned, it's a high traffic group and does
generate a lot of email...but he's also got LOADS of cool reg files in his
files section that can make very cool registry changes for you with one
click...and they are made by Vic, so you can trust them...they are safe:

Also, here's a couple pages from my website that teach about the registry:

My instructions and some samples:

And Vic's reg tips page:
http://personal-computer-tutor.com/abc1/v4/vic4.htm

And Vic's full instructions for backing up and restoring the registry:

Now...back to Office topics please :-)

Most of the registry is perfectly safe to work in. In fact, it's actually
kinda hard to hose a system from there. Work with a it a while and you'll
start to (believe it or not) see the patterns of how it's organized and be
able to stay out of trouble easily.
