[Is it possible to restore the registry from DOS?]

The answer is yes.  From DOS type regedit.exe and then import the CC backup file.  Quite easy.

[System restore does not seem to have been stored]

 

PLEASE NOTE THAT

when CCleaner makes a registry backup this is totally unrelated to to System Restore,

and the CORRECT way to resolve the problem is to find the registry backup file and double click to merge the contents back into the registry.

 

 

Alan_B can this be done from DOS?

[Is it possible to restore the registry from DOS?]

My PC was running pitifully slow so I cleaned the registry with CC then rebooted.  Windows wouldn't start and I had to put in the Win7 recovery disk and can get to a C: prompt.  The Startup Repair says "corrupted registry".  I am not sure it was CC or something else, but my question is:

 

Is it possible to restore a CC registry backup from DOS?

 

If so, how?

 

TIA,
