Disabling Registry Backup

[Tom]

Hello...i'm using XP ( actually...a xp compatible version of windows...its a beta ).

I have a question. How do I disable windows from backing up the registry? Everytime I edit the registy, it puts back the old one :'(

I have encountered that too...just use the Microsoft Power Toys so you dont have to worry about messing it up...on the side of like removing a virus...what I do is save the registry and the change the startup of the registry to Save itself so that you dont have to redo the fricking chages...ont ask me ?'s that is really all i know

I'll try the MS powertoys...and what did you mean about saving the registry on startup?

[smartguy240]

the MS powertoys is aka TweakUI

The registry edit I needed to edit was to make programs run on my computer ( XP programs ).

So, I am stuck...I cannot install power toys...anyway to disable the registery backups other than that?
