Registry Help

Hello Everyone,

I need to get a key and all of it's subkeys from the registry in XP. Does anyone know how to do this?

I want to backup a section of the registry by grabbing the key and all subkeys of that key.

The key has an undefined amount of subkeys, so grabbing each one is not an option.

Thanks for helping,

REG EXPORT KeyName FileName

  Keyname    ROOTKEY\SubKey (local machine only)
    ROOTKEY  [ HKLM | HKCU | HKCR | HKU | HKCC ]
    SubKey   The full name of a registry key under the selected ROOTKEY
  FileName   The name of the disk file to export

Examples:

  REG EXPORT HKLM\Software\MyCo\MyApp AppBkUp.reg
    Exports all subkeys and values of the key MyApp to the file AppBkUp.reg

@CyberCitizen,

Thanks for helping. But I was actually hoping not to have to go that route. I thought maybe the RegistryReadKey might be able to do it. Maybe not.

None the less, thanks for the help.
