Backup the entire registry and restoring
To back up the entire registry, open REGEDIT and ensure that 'my computer' is highlighted, then go tofile\export.
In this window, you need to enter a location to save the exported registry (as a single file) and choose the type of file to create. Also, check the 'all' button at the bottom of the screen to backup the entire registry.
There are several possible file types, but we will focus on one only, as the ".reg" file type is the easiest to use. A .reg backup will copy over all changes made to existing portions of the registry when it is restored, while leaving additions to the registry made since the backup untouched.
Select the .reg file type and click 'save.'
Restoring the registry from this .reg file is a simple matter of locating the file you created, right clicking it and selecting 'merge.'
