A few days ago my friends computer got fu<|<ed cause Dell sent him a bad hard drive. I fixed it so he could get into windows. But I had to reinstall Windows. That took out the reg. It really sucked cause I had to reinstall everything to backup.

Y did I have to do this?

Most programs save to the reg. When the reg got deleted they had none of there settings. The reg holds everything infact after I got it working the only thing that was working was windows. No sound, only 16 colors, ect.

I hate the reg!!! The why I use ini files to save settings for my programs.
