>Every time you boot your PC it automatically makes a
copy of your Registry and files it. You can restore a
Registry by booting in Command (DOS) mode and at the
command prompt, type scanreg/restore this will bring up a
list of registries and you can pick your own date to
restore. Using the Command prompt while in Windows will
NOT work to restore the Registry.
