How to back up your registry

Often we found ourselves so bored about our default things about our OS. Sometimes the best thing we do are changing sounds, wallpapers, sometimes even themes. So many times there are a simple way of changing the way your OS looks. But rarely it goes tough. You may  need to touch the registry for some change. 
Thus for a good sake, Microsoft have provided a open registry so that you can edit things and make it as you like. But editing registry is a bad idea that it may cause a fatal error and corrupt the OS itself.
you may say or ask as "There must be a other way." Yes, of course. The easiest way to save your OS from fatal attack is backing up before you edit your registry. 
Basically there are two types of backup methods for registry. Here i am going to tell you both the methods in detail.
This tweak is for Windows XP, but with some OS knowledge you can follow this with any OS with some slight change. If you found difficult, post a comment. I will reply with the corresponding OS.


1. Steps to backup the entire registry - (easy one)
You can use the built-in Microsoft Backup Utility (accessible from Start-->All Programs-->Accessories-->System Tools) to back up the system state. The system state includes the registry, the COM+ Class Registration Database, and your boot files.
2. Steps to export registry subkeys
Use the following procedure to export a registry subkey before you edit it
a. Click Start, and then click Run.
b. In the Open box, type regedit, and then click OK.
c. Locate and then click the subkey that contains the value that you want to edit.
d. On the File menu, click Export.
e. In the Save in box, select a location where you want to save the Registration Entries (.reg) file, type a file name in the File name box (i normally use the format subkey_name_date_hour), and then click Save. This is create a *.reg file containing your subkey backup.
f. In case you want to undo the changes you made to the registry after the backup, locate your *.reg file and double click it.
your done.
