I'm pretty sure that there is no difference in the registry format of the
Windows 9x, 2000, NT, etc family. What IS different is that regedit in Windows
2000 has a unicode default export format. Doing it manually, go to regedit and
export a branch. If the default "Registration files" type is not changed, it
will export in unicode and the first line of the resulting .reg file will read
"Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00". If you select the "REGEDIT4" file type,
the resulting file will be the old non-unicode style and the first line will
read REGEDIT4; this is the format that you need for backwards compatibility (and
if you want to edit/view/etc the file in non-unicode aware programs.) Either
format will import back into W2K.
Doing it from the command line, you want to use the "/a" switch when exporting a
branch to a file, not "/e", if you need to save the W2K settings for use on
another platform. (Not sure if this switch is documented.)

AFAIR it was discussed more than once on this list as working. The
problem is with the new registry format in Win2k, which *can* import
old registry settings/branches. But the other way round it does not
work (from 2k to 9x).
Concerning Win94, Win98 and WinME, they are more or less the same
(well, at the "OS" level, not on their interface) so, what works for
98 should work for 95 and ME.
