Exporting a specific key via a batch/executable file?

[Guest]

I need to export a specific registry key (and sub-keys) before I reimage a
user's computer. Is there a way to have it export the file without opening
the registry, finding the entry, clicking export, giving it a name, etc....

Anyway to do it from a command line or make a little batch file to do it
somehow?

The key is [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles]

Thanks.

regedit /e D:\filename.reg "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles"


(above is all on one line)

OK, one more question. Is there a way to export multiple registry keys with
one batch file and have all the keys end up in one REG file? If I do this:

---Start Batch File---
regedit /e D:\Docs\Exchange\outlook.reg
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows
Messaging Subsystem\Profiles"
regedit /e D:\Docs\Exchange\outlook.reg
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Exchange"
---Stop Batch File---

The second line overwrites the file created from the first line. Is there
any way to have it append itself to the file instead of overwriting it? Or
will I need to have each line make it's own file (outlook1.reg, outlook2.reg)
which is what I'm doing now...

Thanks.

AFAIK you would need to append the text from one file to the other through
script or other means.

This batch using a subroutine is extendable.
:RegExport file key Reset

If you append reset the file is recreated, otherwise the output
except the first lin eis appended.

::RegExport.cmd::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
@echo off&setlocal
set "_tmp=%~dpn0.tmp"
set "file=D:\Docs\Exchange\outlook.reg"

set "hive=HKEY_CURRENT_USER"
set "key=Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\"
set "key=%key%Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles"
Call :RegExport "%file%" "%hive%\%key%" Reset

set "key=Software\Microsoft\Exchange"
Call :RegExport "%file%" "%hive%\%key%"

del /Q "%_tmp%" >NUL
goto :eof
:RegExport file key Reset
regedit /e "%_tmp%" %2
if errorlevel 1 exit /B %errorlevel%
if /I %3. EQU Reset. (more %_tmp%" >%1) else (more +1 "%_tmp%" >>%1)
::RegExport.cmd::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
