- Open RegBack by clicking on your Start button and clicking on Registry Backup and Restore. Answer Yes on the User Account Control dialog if prompted.
- Click the New Backup button.
- Click the link that says "Click here to view details of the hives in the backup".
- Uncheck the "Current User (recommended)" checkbox at the top of the form. Keep "System (recommended)" checked.
- At the bottom of the form, uncheck all options except "C:\Windows\System32\config\SOFTWARE" and click OK.
- Click the Start button to begin the backup.
- When it says Finished successfully, click the Close button.
- This will bring you back to the main screen of the program. You will see two entries in this list. Right-click on the one from today and select Explore Backup...
- This will bring you into the folder where the backup was made. You should see a Users folder and a Windows folder along with a couple other files. Double-click on the Windows folder to open it. Then open the System32 folder and then config folder. You should see one file which is named SOFTWARE.
- Copy this file to your Desktop and overwrite any one that is currently there.
- Now right click on this file on your desktop and select Send to > Compressed (zipped) folder.
- Then please upload the zip file(s) to your favourite file sharing website (it will be too big to upload here). Examples of services to upload to are Dropbox or One Drive or SendSpace and then just PM me your link.
- You can close any open windows you have as well as the RegBack program now.
