Where to locate Registry files?

Following up on my earlier BSOD "base?????32" issue, I have created a Bart

boot CD & am ready to roll up the sleeves & dig in; where do I locate the

original XP installation's Registry files so I can remove/edit the offending

reference?

I suggest the following first...

"Boot into the Windows Recovery Console and logon as the Administrator and then go to;

%windir%\system32

Copy; basesrv.dll to baseokfrf32.dll

Then reboot the PC. See if that will allow the PC to load properly."

Yep, tried that, NFG, system wouldn't boot at all. Deleted the resultant

baseokfrf32.dll file & back to the previous problem at least (attempted to

boot, got to the Windows "Kit" screen, then failure & reboot to BSOD with

previously mentioned error message). Used Bart PE to boot up, ran RegEdit &

looked for reference to baseokfrf32 but couldn't find it (was RegEdit

editing the Bart registry or . . .?); then tried using a text editor to edit

the registry files in %windir%\system32\config; couldn't read 'em.

Wound up just doing a Repair Install of the OS, which fixed the issue, but a

pain in the *** since I now have to do all the updates again.

Surely there must be some way to resolve this issue easier next time? This

is the 3rd time I've seen the same exact thing; infection by

winantiviruspro, (at least partial) removal by combofix/virtumonde fix/vundo

fix, then this **** reference to base?????32 in the boot sequence . . .
