Exporting the entire registry and then restoring it.

I constantly use RegEdit and export INDIVIDUAL KEYS.

If I go to the top where it says MYCOMPUTER and hit EXPORT. Will this
export the entire registry? What is the simplest way to restore THE ENTIRE
REGISTRY that I backed up. . Do I simply double-click it? Or do I go to
the Registry and hit import ---- I would think that woudl import these as
additional entries rather than replace the entire registry.

You are right, it will merge them. Much better to use ERUNT from
