Something to Get Rid of the Registry Hassle ?

[LeftEyeNine]

Yo folks,

My (and I guess almost general) way of formatting is having multiple disks/partitions where your backups go other than the primary one, C:, and then installing a fresh copy of Windows there (C:).

I save my biggest partition for only games. It's nearly triple times bigger than C:. However as you are familiar with how games have grown enormously in the size they need, it's the biggest pain in the *** having to re-install the game after a fresh Windows install since the games are physically there, but naturally have no entries in the registry of the fresh Windows. And this surely creates problems with patching, even playing the game.

So here comes the question:

Is there a program that extracts all registry entries of a program (games, for the situation) to a .reg file, so that you can peacefully get the game done as if it was installed from the disks again after only a double-click which enters the .reg file into the registry ?

Oh Lord, shall it be coded already.

Doubt there's an automated program for it, but you can always go to HKLM/Software/ and export all the keys you want to keep, then double click on the reg file to re-insert it

Hmm, I'll give it a try. Arigatou gozai-masou, sapi-sama

There was Uninstaller, which I used in Win 3.x times, when there was no proper uninstallation for Windows programs, and on 95/98 for exactly the purpose that you ask.

I'm not sure if it's still that good but I'd give it a try.
