Creating a Restore Point and Exporting Your Registry

Learning how to create a restore point will give you a very powerful tool in helping you maintain your Windows installation. Example….Let’s say you install a program and after it is set up you notice it is causing your system to crash, you uninstall it reboot but nothing changes. Now you’re stuck. This is where learning how to create a system restore point can save your neck. Always create a restore point when making any changes to your operating system and you will always be able to recover in the event you damage your installation. This is absolutely imperative when working on your Windows registry. Never edit your registry without completing the tasks in this chapter first.
