[RESOLVED] Backup/Export Registry Key

[csleech]

Hello all,

I am trying to find a way to backup/export a Registry Key branch (including subkeys) in my program. I have searched google and have not found anything that seems to make much sense to me.

Can anyone provide me direction on how I can do this?

Thanks!

You can look at using regedit /e (e switch) or you can go for an 'existing' sample.

I was actually able to get this to work with the method that you provided.

string Command = ("/C regedit.exe /e " + @"""" + ModernTechBU + @"\CurrentUser.Reg" + @"""" + CurrentUser);
                       
            if (Directory.Exists(ModernTechBU)==false)
            {
                Directory.CreateDirectory(ModernTechBU);
            }

            System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("CMD.exe", Command);
            RegCall.Close();

Thanks!
