Step 1: Backing up the system registry file 

- Close all open applications running on the desktop. 
- On the taskbar click Start and click Run. 
- A run dialog box will appear, into which you type regedit. Then click OK. 
- This will launch the Registry Editor 
- Click on Registry and then click Export Registry File. 
- When the Export Registry File window opens, choose somewhere on your hard drive to save this new file. It can be anywhere, but best to put it where you’ll remember saving it. Create a new folder, call it Backup Files or something easy, and put it there. 
- Type in the name you wish to call your file ie; registrybackup and select the Export Range = All button. This ensures you save all of the file and not just selected bits.  It will become the registrybackup.reg file. 
- When you’ve clicked Open and the Backup Files folder is open, this same button will change to Save. 
- Click it and your registry backup will be saved. After a few seconds, you’ll be able to edit or close the Registry Editor window as normal.
