Works for WinXP Pro 32 bit SP2:- Recover XP System batch file md tmp copy c:\windows\system32\config\system c:\windows\tmp\system.bak copy c:\windows\system32\config\software c:\windows\tmp\software.bak copy c:\windows\system32\config\sam c:\windows\tmp\sam.bak copy c:\windows\system32\config\security c:\windows\tmp\security.bak copy c:\windows\system32\config\default c:\windows\tmp\default.bak delete c:\windows\system32\config\system delete c:\windows\system32\config\software delete c:\windows\system32\config\sam delete c:\windows\system32\config\security delete c:\windows\system32\config\default copy c:\windows\repair\system c:\windows\system32\config\system copy c:\windows\repair\software c:\windows\system32\config\software copy c:\windows\repair\sam c:\windows\system32\config\sam copy c:\windows\repair\security c:\windows\system32\config\security copy c:\windows\repair\default c:\windows\system32\config\default |

| 1143870 | 2010-10-12 20:07:00 | windows\repair Will that take it back to registry when Win was 1st installed ?? I usually use the 'snapshot' in the system restore folder, using a PE CD support.microsoft.com 9. Open one of these folders to locate a Snapshot subfolder. The following path is an example of a folder path to the Snapshot folder: C:\System Volume Information\_restore{D86480E3-73EF-47BC-A0EB-A81BE6EE3ED8}\RP1\Snapshot 10. From the Snapshot folder, copy the following files to the C:\Windows\Tmp folder: * _REGISTRY_USER_.DEFAULT * _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SECURITY * _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SOFTWARE * _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SYSTEM * _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SAM 11. Rename the files in the C:\Windows\Tmp folder as follows: * Rename _REGISTRY_USER_.DEFAULT to DEFAULT * Rename _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SECURITY to SECURITY * Rename _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SOFTWARE to SOFTWARE * Rename _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SYSTEM to SYSTEM * Rename _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SAM to SAM Then MOVE to the c:\windows\system32\config folder These files are the backed up registry files from System Restore. |
