|
|
|
Follow up to my previous post....
Does anyone know of a good program for editting multiple registries in ,dat format? I need to look at an older registry, but regedit only lets me look at the currently loaded registry. I've downloaded a few programs, but they're all crap and won't let me do what I need to do.
Basically I just want to copy some keys from one registry in dat format and import into another.

you can open the .reg files in text editors. Copy the value you want and save them into a text file.
ex.
Do a search with your program or notepad and find what you need. Copy the string in whole.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\id]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\id\Doom 3]
"InstallPath"="C:\\Program Files\\Doom 3"
"SPexe"="C:\\Program Files\\Doom 3\\doom3.exe"
"CLparam"=""
"MPexe"="C:\\Program Files\\Doom 3\\doom3.exe"
"InstallDrive"="D:\\"
"Language"="enu"
"StartMenuFolder"="Doom 3"
"Version"="1.0"
"UninstallString"="C:\\PROGRA~1\\COMMON~1\\INSTAL~1\\Driver\\9\\INTEL3~1\\IDriver.exe /M{some numbers here} "
"EXEString"="C:\\Program Files\\Doom 3\\doom3.exe"
It should look like this if you open the whole file in notepad or word.
Just search out the string you want copy and save it to a new text file. Then rename the extension to .reg. Double clicking it will import it automaticly to the registry.

.dat files can be opened in a text editor to. Its been a few years since I have worked with windows98 registry but as far as I can remember the only thing that really changes when windows backs up your registry is the name and extension.
If you export the regisry in whole or in part you have the option to save in several formats.
Either way if all he needs is to copy some keys then the method above will work. As long as he knows where the key is located. If not some searching would let him find it quick.
