SUMMARY
=======
The Windows NT 4.0 Resource Kit RegFind utility lets you search and replace data
values in the registry. This article complements the information provided in the
resource kit and explains how to use this tool to manipulate unloaded registry
hives.
MORE INFORMATION
================
The syntax of the RegFind utility is:
REGFIND [-h hivefile hiveroot | -w Win95 Directory | -m \\machinename]
[-i n] [-o outputWidth]
[-p RegistryKeyPath] [-z | -t DataType] [-b | -B] [-y] [-n]
[searchString [-r ReplacementString]]
The -h option lets you specify:
- the registry hive file
- the keyroot name which references that hive in both the output and the
command-line arguments
The -p option lets you specify the registry key path where the search starts.
Sample:
regfind -h "c:\winnt\Profiles\UserX\ntuser.dat" KEYR -p KEYR\Software
WINNT
In this sample, RegFind displays all keys containing the WINNT string in the data
value. The search will start under the Software subkey in the UserX's registry
hive The KEYR argument specifies the registry key name for the root key of this
hive.
