How To Backup The Windows Registry

Every time you see any article which asks you to make changes to the Windows Registry, it is preceded with the obligatory, “backup your registry first” statement. Unfortunately, most sites do not provide instructions or a link on how to backup your registry. So as a public service, I’m going to post links to Microsoft articles which explain how to do this.

Unfortunately, Microsoft doesn’t have a Windows Vista article yet, but I’m guessing the tool under Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Backup Status and Configuration would do the trick.
