It&#8217;s the only way to protect your precious data and irreplaceable personal files. As most of you know there are dozens of ways your data is at risk. So, we know you&#8217;re all keeping good backups, right?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"auto-style5\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Today, though, we&#8217;re going to talk about something we don&#8217;t harp on.. and that is: Backing up the Windows Registry. You&#8217;ve probably noticed that whenever we feature a tip that that includes editing the registry we always tell you to back up your registry first(or create a restore point). But, we have not shown you how to back up the registry. So, today we&#8217;re going to show you how easy it is to back up your registry &#8212; and how easy it is to restore your registry from your registry backup if that should ever become necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"auto-style5\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Let&#8217;s back up your Windows Registry:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"auto-style5\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Press the Windows Key + R<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"auto-style5\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Type REGEDIT in the run box and press Enter<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"auto-style5\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">When the Registry Editor opens, right-click on &#8220;Computer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"auto-style5\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">From the menu that appears, click &#8220;Export&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"auto-style6\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"auto-style4\" src=\"http:\/\/thundercloud.net\/infoave\/images\/2019\/regbak.png\" alt=\"Cloudeight InfoAve\" width=\"404\" height=\"271\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"auto-style5\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Save your registry backup on a flash drive or an external drive. It&#8217;s not a very good idea to save it to your Windows drive (normally drive C ).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"auto-style5\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Also, be sure to save it with a name like &#8220;registry-backup15august2019&#8221;. In other words, give it a name that tells you what it is and when it was created.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"auto-style5\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">If you should ever need to restore your registry using your backup, it&#8217;s easy. Just locate your registry backup file, right-click on it, and choose Merge. Be careful -only do this if you&#8217;ve made changes to the registry (or some program or malware program did) that caused major problems.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/thundercloud.net\/direct\/2019\/school\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"auto-style1\" src=\"http:\/\/thundercloud.net\/infoave\/images\/2019\/back2school2.png\" alt=\"Back to School Customer Appreciation Sale\" width=\"511\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>Cloudeight Direct Computer Care Repair Keys<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>THREE FOR $99! <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">During our Back to School Customer Appreciation Sale, you can buy three Cloudeight Direct Computer Care Repair Keys for $99!
