Nothing wrong with backing up the Registry, but there can be lots wrong
with restoring it unless only minor changes have been made since a very
recent backup, because otherwise the Registry can easily be put out of
sync with the system configuration, leading to a variety of frustrating
problems -- restoring the Registry is a bit like doing brain surgery
with a chain saw. I personally think System Restore makes much more
sense in almost all cases.
