Hi Denny,
Thanks for the email. It worked out fine.
I know I was supposed to back up the registry first but when I went to find out how to do that, in Windows Help, the information it gave was useless. I don't have Arcserve or Backup Exec Agent.
So in other words I didn't back up but thank goodness all went well.
For future reference how do I back up the registry? Isn't that done every time I boot up?

Thanks again for all your help. You're great!
Barbara

Barbara,

Yes, the registry is backed up automatically, but if you want a fresh one (just in case) when you are in Regedit go to File|Export Registry. You can browse to a location you want to save the Registry in (might be a folder just for that purpose) and save it. In the event of unexpected difficulties, you can import the saved version from there.

Steve,

You will find them in C:\Windows\Sysbckup as Rb001.cab, Rb002.cab, etc. I don't routinely do a manual backup, but it is recommended if you are planning to make changes to your Registry, just in case the automatic backups may have been corrupted somehow. It's just another layer of protection.
