to back up the resgistry is pretty simple.
For 200/XP go START - RUN - regedit. Then Export the registry to your desktop ( so you can find it easily ). Do what the instructions say, making sure that you follow them to the letter, and things should be fine.
I would suggest you backup all your critical data ( like emails and pics ) before you start just in case things go wrong. Write the registry and your data to a CD or something so that you can still access it if it goes haywire.
I've never needed to restore a registry before... so good luck
