Windows Registry

[nlgma]

I'm trying to search Windows Registry. I've tired a few thing, like exporting the Windows Registry to a .txt file, then searching that. It worked, but it takes a while. I tried to put Windows Registry into an array and search that but no dice. I've searched the forums, no luck!

Sorry, but AutoIt can not do this. The registry is pretty off-limits except the commands in AutoIt (read/write/ect).

By off-limits, I do not mean you shouldn't, but I mean you can't. Like there are no current commands to do this.

You must be joking... of course you can search the registry. Similar to FileFindFirstFile/FileFindNextFile, use RegEnumKey and RegEnumVal.

Windows backs up the registry on startup & stores the last five backups. As well as this it is possible to back up the Registry while doing a normal backup or on it's own.

There is a program within Windows 98 called "Scanreg" go to START BUTTON - RUN & type (scanreg)

Scanreg will check the registry and should tell you that your registry has been backed up today & would you like to do it again.

By default there are 5 backups stored by windows.

They are stored as (rb###.cab) files from rb000.cab to rb004.cab. These are hidden files so to see them you must have "Show all files" must be ticked. - MY COMPUTER - VIEW from the menu on top of window - FOLDER OPTIONS - select VIEW tab - & click the box next to SHOW ALL FILES.

I managed to put this together. It's not clean, nor can I get it to stop automatically. Can someone please look at this, help me clean it up and for the love of god make it stop ?
