Well I've never yet figured out how to make a backup of the registry. And in
this last case I'm thinking even that would have done no good.
As for backups, Got plenty of those.

The quickest way to do the Microsoft mantra (RRR) is to take a 'ghost' 
image of your new install so that you can quickly recover back to a 
'clean' install.

Store a second ghost image when you've got the system settings tweaked 
to what you want.

Also make a copy of your partition table!

(Backups can save many hours... Usually learnt /after/ whatever event.)


Good luck,
Martin


There are those that have never had a disk fail, and then there are 
those that do backups.
