Are there any registry editors available that can edit a registry, given specific files (ntuser.dat, etc.)?
Let´s say I have an old system-drive, we can call that "A"; If I were to plug A into my working computer, are there any tools available that can access the registry of the Windows-installation of A, given the specific files?
(No, I can´t boot from it, that´s not an option.)
This is actually quite useful to know, since the program mentioned above (wrr) seems unable to actually do any editing on its own. Combine the two and you not only have enough to edit/save important keys, you can also view all the important information that´s available in the hives without any manual crawling. Thanks for the tip! – Marcus Hansson – 2011-04-10T12:42:59.047
You can Google ERD Commander, this is a Microsoft WinPE rescue boot disc that has a registry editor built in amongst other good tools, really nice but needs to be used on the crippled system, They are specific to each Microsoft OS and bit version, not publicly available from Microsoft but there are copies floating around. Another choice is this regedit boot disc, not as good as ERD but not bad...http://www.pcregedit.com/

Very Interesting. ERD Commander seems like an extremely useful tool, although not useful in my particular case since the MB-record was partly destroyed when the system crashed. Both Bart PE and PC Regedit seems like good search´n´rescue-tools, which has their uses (In fact, the main site for PC Rescue looks just as useful, but that, however, is off-topic). Anyway, thanks for the info and have an Internet-cookie (Marked yours as the answer). – Marcus Hansson – 2011-04-11T05:49:49.287
