ERUNT

ERUNT (Emergency Recovery Utility NT) lets you keep a complete backup of your registry and restore it when needed. Yes, the standard registry backup options that come along with Windows does back up most of the registry, but not all of it. ERUNT can create a complete backup set, including the security hive and user related sections. It's easy to use, and there are no options or choices other than to select the location of the backup files. The backup set includes a small executable that will launch the registry restore, if needed. As this program creates a backup folder every time the PC is started, typically 30 MB+, it ends up taking up quite a bit of hard drive space. So, it would be prudent to keep an eye on the folder C:WINDOWSERUNT.

The 772 KB ERUNT, developed by Lars Hederer, for Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista can be downloaded at
