Im wanting to find out if there is any place to get the original registry config right after installing win 98. I would like to have a copy on floopy. any good registry sights for information on learning how to edit registry and actually learn something would be a big help.

Boot to Dos.
edit c:\windows\scanreg.ini
change MaxBackupCopies=n - for more saved copies
change BackupDirectory=x:\y\z - different save directory
save and exit
scanreg /? - for some help lines
scanreg /fix
scanreg /opt (/fix may do this)
scanreg /backup /comment="xxx"
look in your x:\y\z directory above you'll see an RBnnn.CAB - this is your saved registry but it will probably not fit on a 1.44 floppy (LS-120 and Zip etc. yes)

The hidden file C:\System.1st is a copy of the reg made by W95 (& W98 I think) right after the initial install.
