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.

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.

Regedit.exe and Regedt32.exe? Does it matter which I use? (I always use Regedit.exe -- am I doing it TOTALLY wrong?)
