SYMPTOMS
========

When you restore a backup of the Windows 95 registry using the Configuration
Backup tool (Cfgback.exe), some settings are not properly restored.

RESOLUTION
==========

Rather than using the Configuration Backup tool, use another method to back up
and restore the registry. For additional information, please see the following
articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Configuration Backup version 4.0
for Windows 95. We are researching this problem and will post new information
here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
