Export registry keys from OS backup

[thefunnel]

Hi all,

I need to export certain registry keys from a flat file backup of a
Windows 2003 installation.

Basically we have a folder with the old operating system files...

I understand the Windows registry is stored in C:\Windows\System\Config
in several files.

I only need to export the keys from:

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Shares

Many thanks,

Paul

Run regedt32, then from the Local Machine Hive, choose Registry|Load Hive.
Then navigate to the location of the hive you want to edit/read. Give it
some tempname (doesn't matter what). Then when your done, move the cursor
back to tempname, then Registry|Unload Hive, Registry|Exit

You'll want the system hive. Looking in;
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Select
you'll find the D-Word values for
"Current"=dword:00000001
"Default"=dword:00000001
"Failed"=dword:00000000
"LastKnownGood"=dword:00000002

Use controlset00x where 00x is the value of "Current"
