What is the Windows Registry?

The Windows registry is a database that Microsoft designed to store configuration settings and options for the operating system (OS). It increases OS speed and also contains settings for hardware components, end-users, and system software to help ensure that the highest possible quality of service is delivered to th user. The registry is used as an entrance point or gateway for the Windows OS kernel and has been in use for a number of years. Although significant improvements have been made to the registry, it is still susceptible to getting bloated with time and is a common target for computer malware attack.

Step 2 – Enter “Command” in the search text field then press “Enter.”

Step 3 – Enter “regedit” at the DOS prompt, then press “Enter” to open the Windows Registry Editor.

Step 4 – Select the “Export Registry File” from the primary file menu, then select the folder to save the backup registry file to, and enter a file name. It is a good idea to save the file to a portable medium such as a USBjust in case the hard disk cannot be easily accessed due to registry corruption.

Step 5 – Click “Save” and the backup of the Windows registry file will be saved.

*Note* Users may save the “System.dat” and “User.dat” files found on the computer’s hard drive through the search function on Windows Explorer if they do not want to use the above steps.
