Running two instances of Regedit.exe

[Wieger]

For comparison I'd like to run two instances of Regedit.exe at the same
time.

I tried RunAs, SUS, and also executing a copied version of Regedit.exe with
a different name... but I can seem to be able to start a second window. It
alsways reverts back to the already open application.

I know that I could run Regedit and RegEdt32, but I'd like the same
interface... for comparison.

Anyone?
Thx

Wieger,

I don't know of a way to get multiple instances of Regedit open on the same system because of the way it is written. If you
simply want the same interface you should be able to run multiple instances of Regedt32.
