IMPORTANT NOTE :

When you back up the registry, the Rb0x.cab file is created in the Windows\Sysbckup folder (where x is a number from 0 to 5).

Each time you back up the registry, the oldest Rb0x.cab file is overwritten. Windows Registry Checker backs up the System.dat, User.dat, System.ini, and Win.ini files, as well as registry configuration information (including user account information, protocol bindings, software program settings, and user preferences).

Follow these steps -
1. Click on the 'start menu'
2. Click on the 'Run' button - A small window called 'Run' will now appear.
3. Type 'regedit' and press enter! - The Registry editor will now pop up, open the 'registry' menu at the top of the screen.
4. Choose 'Export Registry File'.
5. Choose a suitable (and memorable) place on your computer to store the backup file, name the file 'regbackup' and click 'Save'.

That's it, you have backed up your system; you are now safeguarded from doing anything corrupt to your computer.

To restore back to these original settings at any time, just follow the steps below:
a. Open the 'Registry Editor' by repeating steps 1 to 3.
b. Click on the 'Registry' menu at the top of the screen and choose 'Import Registry File'.
c. Find the file 'regbackup.reg' that you saved in step 5 and click 'open'.
