Fiddling about in the Windows 2000 registry can be pretty dangerous to your PC's health to say the least. For a startyou must remember that once you edit a registry key there is basically no turning back as neither registry editorin Windows 2000 has an undo feature.

Now then, what next? Well Windows 2000 comes with two registryeditors for you to try to get to grips with, one is the good old Regedt32.exe and the other is regedit32.exe an older version of regedit. We will cover what these two do in a later tip butfor now, here are a run down of rules we follow before making a registry edit, we recommend that you do the same.

1. Back up the registry before performing an edit as there is always the risk of a mistake.

2. Remember the keys you change just incase you would like to change them back to the originalsettings.

3. If you are worried about a setting you arethinking of changing, the best thing to do is not tochange it unless it is vitalto do so.
