August,

I was looking around the Command List in XP Help & Support and came
across a Command that looks to me like it does some of the things that
WMI(C) does.

I haven't tried it out yet (You know, it's one of those ROUNDTUITs).

Also today when I was roaming through Microsoft Support pages I read a
page about Backing Up the Registry.

I was thinking that after I typed REGEDIT at the Run prompt, just
Exporting the Registry to the Desktop, so I could Import it in case I
goofed up, was the same as Backing Up the Registry, but it isn't.

The command on the KB 322756 page says, Start - Run  -

type %SystemRoot%\system32\Restore\RSTRUI.EXE

and at the Welcome Screen to click Create A Restore Point - Next -

type a file name - click Create - click Close .

Boy!, I sure get tangled up trying to learn stuff about XP, don't I?
