FWIW, I'm just getting back to this...and that command doesn't work on Windows 7. "Systemstatebackup" is only available on Windows Server 2008.

Surely by now there has to be some better way to JUST dump and restore the registry. This problem has existed ever since ... was it Windows 3.x or Windows 95? -- Phil Stracchino, CDK#2 DoD#299792458 ICBM: 43.5607, -71.355 ala...@caerllewys.net<mailto:ala...@caerllewys.net> ala...@metrocast.net<mailto:ala...@metrocast.net> p...@co.ordinate.org<mailto:p...@co.ordinate.org> Renaissance Man, Unix ronin, Perl hacker, Free Stater It's not the years, it's the mileage. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
