Windows XP features a vast number of configuration dialogs, but some adjustments are often performed only by directly editing the Registry. Frequently, tips involving Registry tweaks include stern warnings to copy the Registry before making any change. The Windows XP Backup applet can copy the Registry along side other elements of the System State, but the resulting file can occupy many megabytes. You're more happy saving a system restore point whenever you're close to edit the Registry. Better still, you'll use Regedit to copy only the Registry keys which will be changed.
Click on Start | Run and enter Regedit to launch the Registry editor. To copy a private key you propose to edit, navigate to the key and right-click thereon . Choose Export from the menu, and save the key to a REG file. Open the REG enter Notepad and insert a couple of comment lines that describe the source and purpose of the tweak. (To create a comment line, simply put a semicolon at the beginning of the road .)
Now plow ahead and make all the changes to Registry keys and values specified by the tip you're applying. Any time you add a replacement key or value, make a note of it with another comment line within the REG file. When you're done, save the REG file and shut Notepad.
If later you would like to undo this Registry tweak, just double-click on the REG file and ensure that you simply want to feature it to the Registry. this may restore any deleted keys or values and can restore the first data for any values whose data was changed. Note that this may not remove new keys or values that were added; that's why you would like to form comments about such changes.
Right-click on the REG file and choose Edit, which can open it in Notepad. Check for comments about keys or values that were added, and if you discover any, use Regedit to delete them. you'll delete the REG file itself once you've completed this process.
