How Do You Restore A Registry Commandline?
If you’ve ever had a problem with your Windows registry, you know that it can wreak havoc on your system. A damaged registry can make nearly any part of your system unusable. But before you give up and reinstall Windows, if you have a backup of your registry, you can try to restore it using the command line–one of the most reliable parts of the Windows system. Go to the “Start” menu and choose “Run.” Type “cmd” and press “Enter.” This will bring up the command line. Use the “cd” command to navigate to the directory where your registry backup file is located. For example, if your registry backup is located in “C:\Documents and Settings\username\Desktop”, type “cd C:\Documents and Settings\username\Desktop” and press “Enter.” Type “regedit /s registryBackup.reg”, replacing “registryBackup.reg” with the name of the registry file you’d like to restore. This will immediately restore any parts of your registry contained in the backup.
