Hi ya' Armando! > Backups, a must for all, dont you agree? A myriad of utilities for this is available. Get yourself a copy of XXcopy, once you learn how to use it you got it, for free. I was able to find and DL a copy of xxcopy.zip and put it on my desktop, so can you give me a short version of exactly what it does and how to use it? The reason I asked is that it is a very small program that only took two seconds to DL and I have not unzipped it yet to see if it even has a help file or instructions included! > For your registry, it works from within Windows. Backup & restore your registry. It works from DOS. It works!, and you don't have to guess if you're doing it right or using the right backed up file. FREE: COP 2.2 by PLATO. I have had COP 2.2 by PLATO for some time now and since I just recently got my system working like it should, I finally used it and made a backup of my registry, so I am set there I hope!
