It is nice to know how to get back to our original "Working" registry when things dont go exactly to plan. I have with XP, used for some years now a lovely little registry backup and optimizer tool called "ERUNT". I am pleased to say that this also works with "Vista".
The added bonus ? It's free !! It is uncomplicated, and it works extremely well. "ERUNT" = "The Emergency Recovery Utility NT"
After installation and having chosen the "Autobackup" option, the registry is backed up daily to a folder named "ERDNT" which resides in "WINDOWS"
(for example : C:\ WINDOWS\ ERDNT\ ) It is a simple enough task to find this folder and make a shortcut available on your desktop for easy access.
Apart from daily autobackup we also have the option to make a manual backup by merely double left clicking on the "ERUNT" icon.
To re-install to a previous registry, open the "ERDNT" folder, find the named or dated folder of your choice, double left click on the green "ERDNT" Icon and you are able to re-instate to registry settings of your choice.
I also use this before every software installation and recently everytime I go onto the Internet. It is the ultimate twiddlers and tweakers safety net.
You can find ERUNT at : *www.larshederer.homepage.t-online.de/erunt/. Or simply enter ERUNT into Google.
