"BACKING UP YOUR ISP INFORMATION Reader Sharon V. asks this ISP-related question:
"Is there some way to make a backup of the information you have to enter to connect to your ISP? I printed it out, but then lost it. I had to call the ISP and get it to talk me through the process again."
Yes, you can make a backup and avoid any more ISP inconveniences . You will need to use RegEdit, but you should have no problems as long as you don't make any changes to the Registry. To make the backup, choose Start, Run, type
regedit
and press Enter. When RegEdit opens, go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\RemoteAccess. Click RemoteAccess to select it, then choose Registry, Export Registry File. When the Export Registry File dialog box appears, name your file ISP. Next, choose a location for your new file and click Save. Close the Save As dialog box. To close RegEdit, choose Registry, Exit.
To restore your ISP settings, all you have to do is double-click ISP.reg and Windows will merge the file with the Registry. Note: This does not save any of your passwords. However, it will save the stuff you need to call the ISP about." |
