which utility do you use to backup your registry? i need one

Hi

which utility do you use the backup your registry?

i use ERUNT.EXE for windows XP, but after a backup and a restore --> reboot -->my quick launch is disappeared and this is very boring because i have to enable it and re-sort how i like the icon


did you notice, find such issue? i tried to tweak the registry (disable icons positition save on exit)


which utility do you use for xp or vista?

thanks

 

I just copy the whole registry to a folder in "My Documents"

i.e. 02162009.reg

 

but it isn't a restore

i mean for example (you export the registry) install a program that create new entries
and you import the registry saved with regedit , it will not restore the registry it will merge , so every new entries (made by the program) will stay

 

Got it, OK, my bad.

I've tried erunt, but it failed me so many times I just gave up. Perhaps I should have investigated the problems I was having, but it really wasn't that much of an issue. So I just stopped using it.

I really do not do too many reg BU's any more. I use FD-ISR so I always have a SS to revert to in the case that something catastophic happens.

...screamer

 

Windows' System Restore? ...I don't use it, but it will do that job.

 

You can try Regbak. It seems like Erunt; I didn't try it however as I use only Erunt, with it command line features.

 

do u use erunt ?
but after a restore , does your quicklaunch disapear?

 

Never disapear!

It seems that your problem isn't ERUNT related.

This can help you perhaps: Link1 - Link2

 

right!
it's Crapcleaner
winsys.ini

Code:

[Window Size/Location Cache]
LangSecRef=3004
LangRef=3127
WarningRef=3205
RegKey1=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StreamMRU
RegKey2=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams

if you enable it , it delete the keys about quicklaunch ,can't understand why...

 

A good find, mantra.

CCleaner think that «\ShellNoRoam\Bags\» is the same that «\StreamMRU\». CCleaner has been admixing dissimilar conceptions.

Too bad - even when it is in 'Advanced' items.

Like I don't use CCleaner, no problem...

Better is to use ERUNT before using CCleaner... - not after...

OMG

Again: a good find, mantra!

 

by the way you can disable it
and there is a nice alternative to ccleaner is Disk cleaner http://www.diskcleaner.nl/

 

Yes.

And maybe a day CCleaner fix this regrettable annoyance...

I added and use a CleanAfterMe (NirSoft)'shortcut in Quick Launch, with the command «/clean CleanAfterMe.log» to cleanse automatically.

For a deep and customized cleanse I use Eusing Windows Washer.
