You must have appropriate permissions to make changes to a
registry key. To maintain security when making changes to a registry key
for which you need administrative credentials, log in as a member of
the Users group and run Regedit as an administrator by right-clicking
the Regedit icon, clicking Run as, and clicking an account in the local Administrators group. The Regedit icon does not appear by default from the Start menu. To access the icon, open the Windows or WINNT folder on your computer.
-
You can use a text editor like Notepad to work with the registry files you create by exporting.
-
You can save registry files in the Windows format, in the format used in
Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT 4.0, as binary hive files, or as
text files. Registry files are saved with .reg extensions, and text
files are saved with .txt extensions.
- In Windows Explorer, double-clicking a file with the .reg extension imports the file into the computer's registry.
