 Ehh, binary? I don't think so! Unicode is just a bit more "advanced" ASCII with
 two byte representation.

 W2k/WXP registry is in unicode, so default export format is therefor also in
 unicode (manually by menu export or command line with regedit.exe /e). This type
 of files will have the text "Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00" as the first
 line. To edit them you will need tools/editors that understands unicode.

 Both export types can be changed to export in good ool ASCII. This type of files
 will have the text "REGEDIT4" as the first line.

 W2k/WXP has no problem importing old ANSI registry files! Just be sure the first
 line says REGEDIT4.


 To export registry files in ASCII with regedit.exe in W2k/WXP:

 REGEDIT /e:a filename [regpath1]
 or
 REGEDIT /a filename [regpath1]


 Here is the documentation I have collected on regedit.exe throug time:

 Exporting:
 REGEDIT  filename1
 REGEDIT  /C filename2
 REGEDIT /E filename3 [regpath1]
 REGEDIT  /E:A filename3 [regpath1]
 REGEDIT  /A filename3 [regpath1]
 REGEDIT  /D regpath2

   /L:system       Specifies the location of the SYSTEM.DAT file. 'Can be added
 on the command line
   /R:user           Specifies the location of the USER.DAT file. 'Can be added
 on the command line
   filename1       Specifies the file(s) to import into the registry.
   /C filename2  Specifies the file to create the registry from.
   /E filename3  Specifies the file to export the registry to.
   /E:A and /A   Specifies ASCII output for W2k/WXP
   regpath1         Specifies the starting registry key to export from.
                          (Defaults to exporting the entire registry).
   /D regpath2     Specifies the registry key to delete.  ' This I have not been
 able to work


 Importing:
 REGEDIT filename1 filename2 filename3 ....
 REGEDIT /s "fil ename1" [filename2 filename3 ....]   ' /s = silent



 You can delete with registry files !!!!

 Delete key:
 [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Brix\Testapp2]

 Delete value:
 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Brix\Testapp2]
 "Test"=-
