It contains settings and information for hardware back up, the operating system software, most non-OS software and personal settings.

For better results, load a registry whenever launching a new program on your computer system. Even if your registry is overloaded  or there exists negligible errors, the computer will get affected.

Conduct the following process Start > Run and type "regedit".

Click On the File Menu > Export.
