The registry is in two files:
c:\{windows dir}\user.dat
c:\{windows dir}\system.dat
The backups are at:
c:\{windows dir}\user.da0
c:\{windows dir}\system.da0
0 = Zero (just incase you can't read it)
You can rename the backups to have a .dat extension and you would have just backed up the registry.

TYoung:
This "overwrite method" is old WIN95 style.
WIN98's registry backup is the "*.cab" file.
Everytime WIN98 boots properly, it saves the current registry.
So, the method of recovering the registry as I described above would be the most efficient.
If this won't help, he has to reinstall the OS from scratch...
