Actually they have . . . in Windows XP, regedit and regedt32, bring up the
same viewer window with all of the same options available.

You're right, I just checked.  I can't belive MS hasn't combined these two
tools, does anyone know of the reason for the separation?

With regedit you can still see all the logged on users, as sub folders off
of HKEY_USERS.

But will agree with Jim as to when I use each one... In other words, I use
regedit when I have to, and that's it.

I follow the same philosophy.  Regedit seems to be a more windows 9x version
of the tool, while regedt32 seems more NT friendly.  Just someone forgot a
search function, punks.

Also, with regedt32 you can see all the user hives that are open on a citrix
server can't you?  You can't do this with regedit, or can you?

I guess but consider this... every microsoft article I've ever read that
requires you to access the registry tells you to use regedt32.exe. Here is a
comparison table I found...
http://www.pcquest.com/content/technology/401030301.asp

When making changes I always stick with Regedt32. If I need to search or
export a key to use in a Regedit script I use regedit.

They access the same information.  The functionality is different.

The major difference:
REGEDIT has a find feature, REGEDT32 does not.
REGEDT32 has the ability to set permissions on reg keys and values, REGEDIT
does not.

Hope this helps,

I know this is a way basic question... what is the difference btw.
Regedit.exe and Regedt32.exe?  Does it matter which I use?  (I always
use Regedit.exe -- am I doing it TOTALLY wrong?)
