This article describes how to manually back up the Windows registry in Windows 98 SE and Windows Millennium Edition.

Once a day after the PC has been successfully started the Windows Registry Checker (Scanreg.exe) backs up the System.dat, User.dat, System.ini, and Win.ini files, as well as registry configuration information (including user account information, protocol bindings, software program settings, and user preferences).

To backup the system registry, do the following: 

• Go to Start > Run 

• In the Open field enter SCANREGW 
• Click OK 

• Wait till the Windows registry has been scanned 
• In the Registry Scan Results window click Yes 

• Wait till the registry is backed up to a file 
• Click OK

When you back up the registry, the Rb0x.cab file is created in the Windows\Sysbckup folder (where x is a number from 0 to 5). Each time you back up the registry, the oldest Rb0x.cab file is overwritten. Windows Registry Checker backs up the System.dat, User.dat, System.ini, and Win.ini files, as well as registry configuration information (including user account information, protocol bindings, software program settings, and user preferences).
