regedit
hello,
I am in serious danger of having to make a minor change to the registry, and am a bit nervous. I know that there is 'regedit' and I know how to start it. I will read some on-line articles 1st. Are there any 3rd-party progs which might be safer / easier to use ? Thanks K |

regedit
Before making any changes to the registry, back up your registry: Run:
Regedit. On the File tab (upper left) click on Export. Name your file (.reg will be the extension) and note the save to location. Click OK To be extra safe, create a restore point in system restore. If anything goes wrong, you have two backups to safely restore the registry. Good luck Carole B "dido22" wrote in message ... hello, I am in serious danger of having to make a minor change to the registry, and am a bit nervous.

regedit --Thanks
Thanks for the advice, I had intended to save the registry, but the restore
point is a very good idea. KK "Carole B" wrote in message ... Before making any changes to the registry, back up your registry: Run: Regedit. On the File tab (upper left) click on Export.
