Warning: Incorrect use of the Windows registry editor may prevent the operating system from functioning properly. Great care should be taken when making changes to a Windows registry. Registry modifications should only be carried-out by persons experienced in the use of the registry editor application. It is recommended that a complete backup of the registry and workstation be made prior to making any registry changes.
1. Launch the Registry Editor by running the command Regedit or Regedt32.
2. Locate the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE | SOFTWARE | VERITAS | Backup Exec | Engine | NTFS (for Backup Exec 9.x and 10.x)
