I wanted to manually copy my registry onto another hard drive.... for backup purposes... what file is it?
Also, it's just good to know.
Thanks!

It would be nice to know, b/c I have forgotten, but for your purposes, couldn't you just export your entire registry with RegEdit.exe?

Which OS?
If Win9X, then I think it's USER.DAT and SYSTEM.DAT. If W2K, the registry consists of several hives: DEFAULT, SAM, SECURITY, SOFTWARE, SYSTEM, USERDIFF, and SYSTEM.ALT.

just go into regedit, select My Computer, go to REGISTRY, select EXPORT.

Windows 2000:
Go to C:\winnt\system32\config
All the file there contains information about your registry and your hardware devices...
If you want the registry only. Copy SOFTWARE file.
If you want the hardware configs, use SYSTEM
ARC
