Regedit Saving

[leonidas]

I would like to try optimise my computer with tweak xp.
But as i'm not a geek, I would like if it's possible to make a copy on cd or something of my registery in case it turns bad.
Could someone tell me if and how a such operation is posssible?
Thanks in advance. B)

in regedit - file menu - export, save to wherever

[leonidas]

Thanks. & then in case I want to replace it, could you tell me in wich folder?

[pol]

simply double clicking the .reg that is created will restore all of your reg settings

[leonidas]

Thanks a lot!

How often should you make a backup of your registry ? I know its a dimb question..

i do it before every major install

e.g. before i install a new game, new piece of software...

not for everything, just the larger pieces of software

It's not really necessary unless you mess with it a lot.
