Here is a link to a Tech Republic article on backing up the Registry:

If you have Windows 98 or XP, you can perform some registry edits using msconfig.

There are a number of 3rd party registry editors out there.

You might try the tools in Norton System Works or V-Com System Suite.
I believe that System Mechanic also includes a registry editor.

For other options, check the listings at:

With XP Home, you need to install NTBACKUP from the install CD. I think it's under Support/Tools or something like that. On XP Pro it installs by default. Once you get that on, then run NTBACKUP and check the box that says "System State". This backups the registry as well as key system files. Usually it's between 200 and 300MB. You can also schedule this backup on a regular basis. Some do it every day. I have it scheduled for once a week and I do it manually just before installing any software that I am worried will mess up my system.
