I would like to end the final part of this series (Part 1 & Part 2 was covered some 2 weeks ago) which is quite overdue.

Anyway without further blabbering, let’s begin:-

In this part, you will need to delete the existing registry files and replacing it with the System Restore Registry files at the location C:\Windows\System32\Config folder.

To begin start the Recovery Console environment.
At the command promt type the following lines and press the enter key after each line.

• del c:\windows\system32\config\sam
• del c:\windows\system32\config\software
• del c:\windows\system32\config\default
• del c:\windows\system32\config\system
• copy c:\windows\tmp\software c:\windows\system32\config\software
• copy c:\windows\tmp\system c:\windows\system32\config\system
• copy c:\windows\tmp\sam c:\windows\system32\config\sam
• copy c:\windows\tmp\security c:\windows\system32\config\security
• copy c:\windows\tmp\default c:\windows\system32\config\default

Then type exit to quit the Recovery Console.

Once all is done, proceed to your normal Windows environment and click START >> All Programs >> Accessories >> System Tools >> System Restore.

Select Restore to a previous Restore Point to finalise the restoration .
