JimmyMahoni JimmyMahoni Fresh Scripter Registered: 2004-10-07 Posts: 6 Loc: Austria,Vienna	hi I have another question ! If I save a RegistryKey with the SaveKey command, it makes a file test.reg but when I open this file, there are many cryptic characters and it's not possible to restore these registry infos ! Is this normal or not ? Need help please ?! Jimmy _________________________ No way for a life after death Superbia Avaritia Invidia Ira Acedia Gula Luxuria

Shawn Shawn Administrator Registered: 1999-08-13 Posts: 8611	Thats because SaveKey doesn't really store it as a .REG file (that we all know and love). It stores it as a binary HIVE file (.pol files are hives too, so is ntuser.dat), and you need to restore it using the LoadKey function (and you need backup restore privs to do this as well). -Shawn

Isn't that nice ... just recently I killed my box by accident in doubleclicking a .reg instead of right clicking it. It contained the entire registry of one of our Servers for comparison with another one ^~° _________________________

If I doubleclick on a reg file, it prompts me. Being a belt and suspenders guy, I usually tack a .txt on the end if it is something I don't intend to merge. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.
