Backing Up the Registry

December 20, 2010
There are many backup programs for the registry but if the computer goes down and you can't fire off Win95 because of the registry problem.
Backup to a directory the following files:
  • SYSTEM.DATA
  • SYSTEM.DA0 (Yes seem to be the same size)
  • USER.DAT
  • USER.DA0 (Same size likely)
  • WIN.INI
  • CONTROL.INI
  • SYSTEM.INI
These files can be copied to the windows directory from Win95 or DOS to help correct problems.
