Windows95 Registry

To start your registry editor

Go to start menu and press run . Enter regedit in textarea.Registry Editor refres to regedit.exe .

Each time Windows 95 successfully starts, the operating system backs up the Registry by copying the current system.dat and user.dat files to system.da0 and user.da0 , respectively. If Windows 95 fails to start, the backed-up Registry from the last successful startup can be copied over the current Registry. This method recovers the last successful settings after a system failure.

The back-up can be found in Windows start up disk , if one created.If not , you can find backed up file in windows' system directory. system.dat And user.dat are the registry files . These can be overwritten by system.da0 And user.da0 respectively.All the four files are hidden and are present in system directory of windows.

If the Registry should ever become damaged, it can be salvaged WITHOUT reinstalling Windows 95. All you have to do is look for a hidden system file called system.1st in the root directory of the drive that hosts Windows 95. This file is a copy of the Registry that was created when Windows 95 setup was first deemed successful.Copy the file from system.1st to system.dat , copying over the corrupt file, and replacing it with workable system profiles.
