Registry Export and Import

Registry editor (Regedit.exe), which will be discussed in detail in Chapter 3, allows you

to export the whole registry or individual keys. You may export the registry to any device

installed in the local system.

Tip Export registry files to a folder specially created for this purpose. This folder may be

located on the network drive and contain individual subfolders for each user. If you

add this folder to the list of folders to be included in the regular backup procedure,

you and all other users will benefit from the improvement in reliability.

To export the registry, proceed as follows:

1. Start Regedit.exe and select My Computer (to export the whole registry) or any

individual key (to export that key only).

2. Select the Export… command from the File menu.

3. The Export Registry File dialog will open (Fig 2.15). Select the target folder and

specify the file name for the file that will contain exported registry information.

registry file is very similar to the process of saving files

The exported registry file has an ASCII text format. You may open this file for editing

using any text editor.

Exporting the whole registry or individual registry keys is the simplest method of backing

up the registry before proceeding with any operations that modify registry content. To

discard an incorrect modification introduced in the registry, simply import the previously

exported registry file.
