I also found that this (whcih is a chunk out of something that I downloaded from the add-ons page) works very nicely... put this in a file then in a tool to make it easy...


set KEYPATH=HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Helios\TextPad 4
set BUFILENAME=textpad.reg
REG EXPORT "%KEYPATH%" "%BUFILENAME%"

this should be run in a dos batch file.

Hi Helios - thanks for the How-To tip. I did exactly as outlined in the Help file - Exporting from a WinME machine to a WinXP Pro machine.

Some of the settings (added document classes) were successfully registered with Windows; however, none of the previously associated files were. Any thoughts How-To export ALL of the settings from one registry to the other?

Thanks for any reply.

Rkrite suggested putting this code into a DOS batch file:

set KEYPATH=HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Helios\TextPad 4
set BUFILENAME=textpad.reg
REG EXPORT "%KEYPATH%" "%BUFILENAME%"

Under Windows 98, the final command should be

regedit /e "%bufilename%" "%keypath%"
