I always back up with the Registry attached (I check off ALL the boxes). However, now I have need to restore the Registry and the only ones I can find are from the year 2006. Can someone tell me where my Registry backups are and how to get rid of the 2006 ones? Thank you.........

Do you mean you are backing up the PC, e.g. C: drive. The registry is usually stored in C:\Windows\System32\Config, unless Windows is on another drive and/or the name if the Windows folder is different.

The User's part of the registry (personal settings) are stored under each User's Documents and Settings (or C:\Users on Vista) and C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows.

AISBackup also has a backup registry option (Tools / Backup Registry), these you restore using Tools / Restore Registry.
