[Dirk Hagemann] | I want to do some analysis (as always ;-) ) and for that | reason I think | it's more practical to go trough a text-file. I can produce this | text-file also by right-click on the key (the folder) in the registry | and select "Export". There one can select Text-File and the | place where | to save the text-file. This I want to be done by python automatically.
Well, unless you want to go to the effort of recreating the .reg file format, it's probably worth trying to call regedit with a param or two: http://www.windowsitlibrary.com/Content/237/2.html suggests that something like: regedit /e c:\temp\desktop.reg "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop" will do the business. (And it worked for me a on a simple test run). TJG ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star.
