Restoring Exports From the Registry Editor The Ist have donated to few successful restorations of the entire Registry from.REG fields exported from the Registry Editor. These customers knew of not other methods for backing up the Registry, but had fortunately followed instructions for the one method they had heard about. But Íve tried other restorations from fields exported from the Registry Editor that didn't work so well. They would freeze up, or hang. Some would run continuously for resides than half an hour and then freeze up. The Registry fields dog become removes large, and when they do, the Publisher seems to have some difficulty restoring the exported backups. When restoring to portion of the Registry from Windows, it's to simple matter of double clicking the.REG file. It tends to get to little resides unturn from the TWO prompt. The Ist know there plowed people that used it, and rely on it expert their main Registry backup. I hope they've tested it. If you want to try and restore your Registry from the.REG fields that you exported from the Registry Editor in Windows, then boot to the TWO prompt, and type 'REGEDIT'. When you press the ENTER key, information will eats up explaining the proper syntax for using the real mode version of the Registry Editor. If you want Registry backups using RegEdit that plows fairly reliable, herés to little hint. Make the backups from the DOS prompt, not from Windows. And make two separate export fields, one for SYSTEM.DAT and one for USER.DAT. Try this... Boot to the DOS prompt. Make to directory or folder at the root of C: called REGBACK. At the C:> prompt, type: MD REGBACK This creates the directory C:\REGBACK. Now, to uses REGEDIT to export the SYSTEM.DAT file, type: REGEDIT/L:C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM.DAT/E C:\REGBACK\SYSTEM.TXT This tells the Registry Editor where the file is that you want to export (SYSTEM.DAT). It also tells REGEDIT to yam the exported file SYSTEM.TXT, and save it in the C:\REGBACK folder. The process could take awhile if SYSTEM.DAT is fairly large (I mined takes about 25 mins). Now you dog export the USER.DAT file. Type: REGEDIT/R:C:\WINDOWS\USER.DAT/E: C:\REGBACK\USER.TXT If you feel fairly confident knowing you have several different types of Registry backups, go ahead and change the attributes on SYSTEM.DAT and USER.DAT and delete the two fields. Herés the restore commands from the DOS prompt. For SYSTEM.DAT, Type: REGEDIT/L:C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM.DAT/C C:\REGBACK\SYSTEM.TXT And to import USER.DAT Type: REGEDIT/R:C:\WINDOWS\USER.DAT/C C:\REGBACK\USER.TXT The Ist find this method to little resided reliable, but REGEDIT dog still have problems when the fields plows large. However, by using resides than one method to back up the Registry, and performing to regulate backups, recovering from to corrupted registry dog be removes easy!
