Backup of Settings

[MagicalDean]

Is it possible to make a backup of all the settings in windows? The idea is I am trying to create a backup disc for my computer with all the major programs I use and windows settings itself. I am talking about Windows XP Pro btw, I'm not just in a random windows forum

Thanks for any help

Your best solution is to create an image backup, preferably using a tool such as Symantec Ghost 10.0. This will backup the operating system, all programs, all configuration settings, all personal files - in short, *everything*.

If you are just talking about settings then the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard may help you.
