How do I install a previous registry? I have a backup and also have recovery
files (winxp). I think i accidently deleted a reg key that was not a spyware
key, probably a system key, oops.

How can i restore to a previous state (registry file)please and avoid a
possible system crash?

thanks.
 
Hi jas,


You can create a restore point then go to Start > Run and type
regedit, from it File > Import and browse to the folder where you have
the backup.
