| 1320665 | 2013-01-01 05:07:00 | Registry is far better than .ini for each program. Much much much easier to organise and manage on a global level. Of course it's harder if one wants to edit the config for program x one off, since you have to find the appropriate reg keys and values but in the broader scheme it's great. | The Error Guy (14052) | ||

Both have their own merits, I don't think either is really better than the other. |

| 1320668 | 2013-01-01 18:39:00 | Should we still be backing up the registry like they used to say years ago ? And if so what is the best way ? |

It was advisable to do that with Windows 98, but System Restore does it for you. You could back it up if you want to by exporting all or just a portion to a reg file. |
