A useful feature of ART is the ability to export any key to a *.REG file, which is a plain text file. Later you can use this *.REG file to modify the Registry on a local or remote machine. After exporting a key you may see the layout of the *.REG file by simply opening it in any text editor by clicking Edit | Edit REG file...  . To select the external editor you prefer, click on Editor & Logfile tab of the Settings window.
|
|
|
To export a key to a *.REG file by means of ART select the key, then from the Registry menu select Export  , enter a filename, and save it.
|
| ART is capable of exporting data both into the old format (supported by regedit 4) and the new format (Unicode, supported by regedit 5)
|
| You can choose the export format by setting one of the following rules from Edit | Settings | Export:
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Auto - The regedit5 format is used for Win 2000 or later and the old format is used for older versions of Windows.
|
| Ask for confirmation - This gives you an opportunity to choose the format for each export action.
|
| Version 5 - This is regedit5, the new format.
|
| Version 4 - This is Regedit4, the old format.
|
|
|
| If you open an exported file in a text editor (as described above) you will see text similar to this:
|
|
|
| Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
|
| ; ART - 09.08.2004 14:51:23\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup
|
| [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup]
|
| "CmdLine"="setup-newsetup"
|
| "SetupType"=dword:00000000
|
| "SystemPartition"="\\Device\\HarddiskVolume1"
|
| "SystemPrefix"=hex(03):d2,03,00,00,00,c0,3c,18
|
|
|
| The layout is very simple with Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 indicating the file type,
|
| ; ART - 09.08.2004 14:51:23\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup being a comment,
|
| [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup] indicating the key the value is from, and
|
| "SetupType"=dword:00000000 being the value itself. The portion after "=" varies depending on the type of value:
|
| String , Binary , or Dword.
