If you can read the registry, you can save it without any other

Just export a branch of your own registry and open it with notepad to
see the format. I do it all the time, it works fine.
You're quite right, Roger, and other people earlier in the thread
have more-or-less suggested this approach. I think Mike was looking
for something programmatic and there doesn't seem to be anything in
the API which offers the same output as the Export action gives you
from the menu.
Yeah, that's what I was looking for. I apologize for not making that
clearer. Thanks for reading my mind, Tim!
My point about the backup (and later restore) privs refers to the
specific API calls RegSaveKey and RegRestoreKey. These produce
an opaque binary format which doesn't look quite so good in notepad. :)

As I said before, I'll give the export method a try since that's what
most of the guys have suggested. Then I'll look at writing something
myself that uses Python rather than subprocess if I can find a moment...
