How to view a registry backup CAB file

W

Warren

I've got a registry file saved in CAB format that I'd like to view. When I
extract the CAB I get the System.dat, User.dat, Win.ini, & Sys.ini files.
How can I convert these files into a REG file that I can read in WordPad or
Regedit ?

REGEDIT is the only standard Windows tool that enables this.
1. Reboot using this particular CAB
(usually done in DOS via SCANREG /RESTORE)
2. Run REGEDIT and export a REG (text) file.

No, no, no!!! Too complicated and too risky. Use LoadHive instead.

Thanks Gary,I'll give it a try. I didn't want to actually load my computer
registry with the CAB file,just read it.

You'll have to unpack the CAB file before using LoadHive on the DAT files
inside.

Is it safe to be loading all that stuff into my active Registry? I suppose
you just remove the entry when you're finshed looking ?

Or have I misunderstood what this little proggy is doing.

Yes. Your system ignores that part of the Registry.

Well this proggy crashes & burns on my computer. Something about files
missing.

LoadHive is for NT/2000/XP....it is not for Win98.

Try Regdat v.1.3....it's the fourth item on this page:

Yes, I did some googling yesterday and came up with redat 1.3, which works
extremely nicely. Found what I needed in the registry file using the
shareware version. It's a keeper, that one.
