Regedit Into Registry on External Hard Drive

[The Computer LaB]

Would not be surprised if someone said to use a Windows PE CD or such
but when I remove a hard drive from one PC and plug that hard drive into
a good working XP PC, I want Regedit to access NOT my registry, but the
one on the temporarily installed hard drive so I can look at the RUN
area and such without having to boot up that hard drive.

Any solutions? TIA.

Run regedit, 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
