Can you help? My XP System Tools doesn't contain the Backup Wizard.

I need to back up my registry files so that I can delete the viruses on my boys' computer.

DH is a computer Geek, he says to click on "Start" then click on "Run" then type ntbackup then hit enter. If the backup utility is installed then this will work. If not, you will have to reinstall NT.

Hope this works

Install Backup on Windows XP Home Edition
Users of XP Home Edition that have tried to back up their systems may have been surprised to find that the Backup utility is not included in the default installation of Windows XP Home Edition. No Backup icon is present on the Start menu in Windows XP Home Edition, nor is Backup listed in Add Remove Programs for Windows XP Home edition. No mention of the utility is made anywhere during the installation, but it is included with Windows XP Home Edition. It's just necessary to do a manual install to prepare it for use.

I was able to download the wizard but still had to use the RUN program to figure out where it was installed.
