any way to view the data of the registry from an old hard drive?

[cherold]

I got a new PC but put in a hard drive from my old PC as drive d:. Is
there any way I can find and view the registry information on drive d:?
I'm trying to find the entry for some software in hopes I can register
it properly (I can run it, but it won't implement its shell extensions
because it wasn't actually installed on my new PC, and I don't have the
original install file). Thanks for any help.

You can load the registry hive, view the contents, and then unload it.

Wow, that's so cool. Thanks. It seems you can pretty much do anything
if you can just find someone to tell you how.
