Regedit Backup is automatic?

[Bonnie]

Am I understanding this correctly, that backup is automatic upon
normal shutdown. And, to restore, simply F8 upon reboot and choose
"last known good configuration"?? Do I get a choice of dates, etc?
Thanks, Bonnie

The registry does backup but you have no choice of dates for the last know
good configuration, it does exactly as it say's, restores to the last know
good configuration. Unfortunately, this may not always solve your original
problem.
It may be worth using a search engine to search for the free registry backup
application called Erunt. This will backup all your registry hives. However,
this is not automatic, you need to do this manually.
