Can registry be restored from outside of Windows?
So, I should really know better than to do what I did! I messed up the
registry such that I now can't log into Windows. I did back it up first so have a .reg file. Is there a way to run that .reg file from the DOS prompt and get the registry back in order.

Can registry be restored from outside of Windows?
Thanks for the info... at the moment, can't find my stupid Windows CD. Do
you know if the command "reg import filename.reg" would accomplish getting the backed up registry file back in place? Just wondering... doing some investigation before I work on this at home again tonight.
