Can i copy and re-use my registy settings?

[GooseTickler]

i have made many tweaks to my registry through regedit.exe on windows that i'd like to do again on ANOTHER computer. is it possible to just copy the main REG file with all the tweaks in it and paste it over a reg file on another computer, that way i wont have to re-do all those tweaks manually?

Not realy is the easiest response, it will take you a lot longer to copy and recorrect certain aspects than making the changes your used to yourself

You can create your own Registry editor using Notepad. It would be best to do it for each tweak. A friend of mine has a whole bunch of these that he uses for this purpose.
Put the stuff you want to add into a plain text file in Notepad. Change the file extension from .txt to .reg. When you double click the file, the contents will update (be added) to the registry.


REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\NVIDIA Corporation\Global\NvTweak]

"CoolBits"=dword:00000003

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"Use Search Asst"="no"
"Search Page"="http://www.google.com"
"Search Bar"="http://www.google.com/ie"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchURL]
""="http://www.google.com/keyword/%s"
"provider"="gogl"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search]
"SearchAssistant"="http://www.google.com/ie"

thats probably the best option. is it possible to write ALL my reg edits on one document and save it as .reg or should there be 1 .reg files for each edit?

thanks

I guess you can write them all to one document but personally I would write them to individual documents first. That way they can be tested to make sure that they are written correctly and make the proper Registry executions. After that, if all goes well then you can combine them into a single document.

I would back up your reg first as well before making changes
