Restore registry backups

Hello, I am new here and hoping someone can help me with this? Below is what shows up under"How do I restore registry backups?"

"How do I restore registry backups?Right-click on the .REG file created and select 'Merge'.

By default these files will be saved into your 'My Documents' folder."

When I look in my documents folder there is no . REG file to click on

Thanks for your help in advance

I am running Vista Home Premium core duo T2450 with 2 g ram

  1. Make sure you have CCleaner configured to prompt for registry backups by looking in

    Options, Advanced’, make sure the following is ticked/enabled:

    Show prompt to backup registry issues

  2. Search your system for the following file type using the Windows search function:

    *.reg

  3. The registry backup files created by CCleaner should be named like this, including cc, the date, and the military time when the backup was made (for example today at 8:56 PM):

    cc_20090430_205601.reg
