I said no. When I went to look, there wasn't anything in the backup

So, should I reinstall WindowsXP Home Edition on top of what I have?
Will that restore the registry?


That will probably create a new registry, and you might have to reinstall all
programs as well.

NEVER clean your registry without making a backup first.






Better still

never use a registry cleaner at all
