    I would like to know how to edit the registry of the Windows XP of another harddisk? It is not the boot one and will be used to boot in the other machine! Please help!

      You can open regedit, select the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE hive, then go to the file menu and select "load hive". You can then browse to the .DAT file representing the hive you want to load from the other hard disk. Regedit will then load this hive as a sub-key under HKLM, and you can edit the hive directly.

        To clarify what Craster said, you launch REGEDT32, not REGEDIT. There are TWO registry editors, but only REGEDT32 will allow you to load a registry hive from a file.

              Not on XP - both commands launch the same app.

                True. I was thinking back to 2000.
