windows as most people will tell you can become broken* to the point of
having to reinstall the whole operating system again >> windows dose have
>>System restore >> which workers [most, to some] of the time depending on
your restore points that you may or may not have set, and again depending on
the amount of Disk space you designate it to use in the {{System
properties/System restore/Drive settings}} . other than the windows braking,
it has other problems to like the User Accounts having to share some system
wide settings like screen resolution or sound mute >> moving on to my fix all
solution >>
if you know the registry you know
>>HKEY_CURRENT_USER And HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE<<
HKEY_CURRENT_USER being the User Account, and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE being the system wide settings

HKEY_CURRENT_USER keeps each users custom seatings >>but if
>>HKEY_CURRENT_USER And HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE<< were merged into something like
HKEY_USER it could keep all the settings of the whole system for each user
then all that would be required is that windows keeps a back up or a default
HKEY_USER; and say a user account becomes compromised or broken* it replaces
your whole HKEY_USER that you backed up before your account became
compromised or >> my favorite instead of reinstalling the whole operating
system like you currently have to do when one of your system wide seatings or
 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE get corrupted; you could gust revert all the way to the
default HKEY_USER

this is not the only part of a fix all solution >> because its only the
settings or registry side of the equation theres also the file part of my fix
all solution and it would be to >> seperate the windows default programs like
notepad and paint from the required things like shell32.dll and kernel32.dll
then putting all the required things in a folder like “System Volume
Information” which is some what protected from petty bugs and my favorite
spy-ware and add-ware which are another major cause of having to reinstall
the whole operating system again not only because they slip themselves into
your registry because they slip themselves into the system32 folder also
