since i am continously reinstalling windows(XP) i want to know a way backing up my settings. more specifically to backup registry and other settings of my installed apps, so that there is no need of installing them after a format.
note that i only format the c driveand leave the e drive as it is.
obviously i do hav a backup of all the folders and files, so i just need the registry
as per my knowledge this is the key required to backup things:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\
but what doesthis key do:
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2052111302-507921405-1060284298-500\Software\
r there any other keys or any other thing backup. Any advice would be great!
Another thing how abt importing the whole registry(before the format) ,will that be a good idea??
Thanks
btw nlite is the reason for reinstalling windows
