backup registry

Microsoft Windows stores its configuration information in a database called the registry. The registry is the central storage for all computer configuration data. The Windows system configuration, the computer hardware configuration, information about installed programs, the types of documents that each program can create, and user preferences are all stored in the registry. Windows continually references this information during its operation.

The registry stores the data in a structured hierarchy of keys, subkeys, and named values. Incorrectly editing the registry may severely damage your system. Microsoft recommends that you backup the registry before you edit it.
