To back up your registry go to Start / Run and type in regedit to open the 
registry editor, then go to registry in the menu and choose export registry 
and save it with a unique name.  I also recommend EasyCleaner from ToniArts 
http://www.toniarts.com/ecleane.htm as it is very good for every windows 
operating system I've used.  Check out all the applications there too, 
everything is very useful and freeware too.
