LOOKING AT THE REGISTRY CHECKER
Windows 98 comes with a handy Registry maintenance tool called the Registry Checker.
Each time you start your system, the Registry Checker automatically creates a backup of
the Registry in the \Windows\Sysbckup folder. If you investigate that folder, you'll discover
that Registry Checker actually keeps five backup copies of the Registry in compressed
format as Rb001.cab, Rb002.cab, and so on.
You can manually back up the Registry any time you want.
To do so, load the System Information utility (Start/Programs/Accessories/System Tools),
pull down the Tools menu, and select Registry Checker.
As soon as you do, the Registry Checker will scan your Registry for errors and then prompt
you to make a backup. Click Yes to replace the oldest backup file with the new one.
If you ever find that you need to restore from a Registry backup, reboot your system to an
MS-DOS prompt and then type Scanreg on the command line. Now, just follow the on-screen
instructions to view your backed-up Registry files and restore the most recent one.
