Registry file name and location

[Bob]

I have a copy program which has provision to avoid copying certain
items. If I want to exclude the Registry, what fully-qualified
filespec would I use?

%SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM
%SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\DEFAULT
%SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SAM
%SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SECURITY
%SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SOFTWARE

Also, the ntuser.dat file in each user's profile.

%SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM
%SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\DEFAULT
%SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SAM
%SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SECURITY
%SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SOFTWARE

Are you saying that all these files constitute the Registry itself?

Thanks for the heads up.

Yes, that's correct.
