Editing registry on another install / disk [work boots]
Q: I have a D: drive on my PC, which is an installation of Windows I can not log on the desktop. Im copying the files I need. I need some entiries of Ultima Online and AOL clean the registry on this drive so that if the IS dept at work boots it up they will not see if one of these . how would I access the registry on a different drive?
Best Answer: I presume this means you haven't been able to log in using the system administrator account as well?

Is this account password protected?
if not, the best way i can see of doing this is setting that drive up as a slave drive, in another computer, so you can go through it and access that file……
Re:Regular regedit/regedt32 can do the same thing, you just have to create keys to load the hives into yourself.
Re:yay! Mr Chad rules!
Now I assume if I search around for EA and Ultima Online and so forth I will find the correct entries to clean out the "control panel add/delete programs" section? I don't care of I corrupt something, i just need to clear out what's on the laptop
Re:Registry Editor PE (http://regeditpe.sourceforge.net/)
It's a plug-in for Bart's PE disc. It should accomplish what you're looking for.
Re:I'm not sure if it's possible to do that without the system running, I do know however that you can remotely edit the registry on another machine by connecting to it over a network.
