It's the REG file. An example;
You use regedt32.exe, navigate to the root of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, then you
Load Hive ntuser.dat with a keyname of 'MyTemp' Then you navigated to;
Identities\{SID}\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0
and export the key.
Now open the REG file with notepad.exe and you'll notice that the structure
is
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\MyTemp\Identities
change each instance in the REG file from
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\MyTemp\Identities
to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities
and try again.

| Did so. Used regedt32 to load the hive and it worked.
| Then, since regedt32 won't let you export keys, I opened regedit, and as I
| suspected the imported temp hive was there as well. I exported the key
|
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{340ADE3C-664A-43DD-A92D-2B733E056578}\Software\Microsoft\Outlook
| Express\5.0 which includes the Mail message rules from the temporary
loaded
| hive. I then closed regedit and unloaded the temp hive in regedt32 and
| closed it.
| I placed the exported reg key on my desktop as "oekey.reg"
| I then attempted to merge it with the current registry by doubleclicking
on
| it and I keep getting the error: "Cannot import C:\Documents and
| Settings\Administrator\Desktop\oereg.reg: Error accessing the registry."
| I am logged in as Administrator and have tried the merge from within
| regedit, still same error.
|
| Would this indicate something wrong with the registry or with the exported
| key?
