I had to reinstall windows but forgot to backup settings from an app from the registry. I still have the old registry in Windows.old/Documents and Settings/me. I think it's the ntuser.dat file. Is there any way to browse this file like you do with regedit, so I can get my settings?

regedit, and press Enter.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE key.NTUSER.DAT).The registry hive will be available inside the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE key, ready to be explored. When you're done, click File > Unload Hive.

Yep, this is possible.
Open up registry editor.
Click File > Import.
Change the dropdown to Registry Hive Files (*.*), and select your ntuser.dat file.
When it asks for a name to mount as, choose something like "temp registry mount".
Find what you want and when you are done, right click and choose Unload Hive.
All done!

1k I managed to unhide the file but when I load it in the registry editor it says "The key will be restored on top of key: Computer. All value entries and subkeys of this key will be deleted. Do you want to continue the operation?" Heck no, I dont want to overwrite the current registry :/ – windozsux – 2014-05-17T18:31:02.147
