    copy c:\windows\system32\config\security c:\windows\tmp\security.bak

    copy c:\windows\system32\config\default c:\windows\tmp\default.bak

     

    delete c:\windows\system32\config\system

    delete c:\windows\system32\config\software

    delete c:\windows\system32\config\sam

    delete c:\windows\system32\config\security

    delete c:\windows\system32\config\default

     

    copy c:\windows\repair\system c:\windows\system32\config\system

    copy c:\windows\repair\software c:\windows\system32\config\software

    copy c:\windows\repair\sam c:\windows\system32\config\sam
