Opening Entire Registry
This is probably going to sound weird. I decided to move back from Windows 10 to Windows 7. So, I copied what I could onto another drive, did a few app setting exports, etc. so that I could install Windows 7 fresh and get started setting things back up more easily. I knew there were going to be things I would need from the registry, but I couldn't remember what all I would need offhand. So, I decided to export the entire registry, thinking that I would be able to open it up after the reinstall, edit together anything I needed to import, and then import. However, now that I am back in Windows 7, it seems it is not as simple as I thought. I am having trouble loading the exported registry. If I open in Notepad, it does not error or such, but I don't think it is loading the entire file because what I want is not found when searching. Also, if I try to open it in MS Word, it will work on it for a while, but then come back with a message saying the max number of pages has been reached, and again, I cannot find what I need in there. What would you say the easiest way to accomplish what I am after would be? For example, if I wanted to get the Outlook account settings out of there, which I know are located at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\Outlook (Outlook 2007). Basically, I want to be able to save bits of data from there out as .reg files to import into my now live registry. Thanks much in advance.
