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...

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?)
