Abandon unwanted registry changes without powering off PC?
This is a discussion about Abandon unwanted registry changes without powering off PC? in the Customization Tweaking category; Is is possible to undo mistakes to the registry (say I've been on one of my weekly purges and screw up ) without doing the complete power off option? For example (complete guess here) would killing explorer.

Anything done in the registry is "realtime". If you have WinXP or WinME you can use the System Restore feature. If you have Windows 98 you can use the scanreg feature in DOS mode and then choose View Backups and possbily restore one from there. Otherwize yer screwed.
