How 2 rename

[cdexw]

If I want to do any change in registry on left hand side only by using "Regwrite comand" then how can I do that for example if I want to change only word "COREL| in given screenshot as an example then what is the exect command to do that I can make chanages in value on left side but I am unable to change it in right side

Regwrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\COREL

for example if I want to change word |COREL" to word "Adob" or any other thing then how can I do that

My understanding is that you'll have to copy the path with a new name and then delete the old one.

But if I want to rename like the picture shown below then how I can rename CROWN to any other name as if I delete the key then every thing in that key will be deleted too. I only want to know whether we can rename that function or not??

Interesting question. I've found this one, that might help you:

In an older version of "reg.exe" there is a "/find" parameter that allows for 
a searchstring and replacestring option.

Command-line registry manipulation utility version 1.10.
Copyright Microsoft Corporation 1997.  All rights reserved.

REG FIND HKLM\SOFTWARE SomeString NewString
Recursively searches for and replaces any key or value containing the string
"SomeString" with "New String".

I don't know, where from to get REG.EXE v1.10, may be XP or XP SP1?

Hi,

just look at the function of the link above by water.

See: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=35581

This will copy the whole reghive with subkeys to a new regname and delete the old one.

This is not really a rename, but the result is as you wanted.
