Because you have so much control over the Registry, it's important that you back up the Registry before making any modifications. This will help prevent accidental Registry corruption or, in the worst case, a system crash.
Use the Registry Editor's Favorites menu to save links to particular locations within the Registry.
Control remote access into a system's Registry by setting permissions in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurePipeServers_\ winreg key.
Increase the maximum log size if Registry auditing is enabled.
Manually delete application files and shortcuts after using the Windows Install Cleanup utility.
Whenever you're planning backup and recovery strategies, be sure to include the Registry.
