Is there a command line option that will allow me to access/edit a registry file 'not native' to the current installation of Windows on the machine I am using to run regedit?

Essentially I have a large backup of the total files of a Windows98SE installation or C: drive, on my machine and I wish to get at the Outlook Express info stored within so that I may export this across to a fresh install to save myslef the bother of setting up numerous email accounts by hand.
I can't export from outlook because the information is now held as a large Dir structure on a my HD, it is not actally part of a running Win98SE installation any more.

I hope you got the dirft of that. It essentially involved salvaging all the files in a non booting Win98SE installation by piggybacking the HD and copying all the files of it to a Dir on another machine (mine).

I hope you have the knowledge to at least point me in the direction of a registry zen master who can help impart necessary wisdom.

Thanx

Not sure what requires to be done in the registry but this tool will allow you to access the registry of an OS that is not booted. You can download a free trial of Resplendant Registrar from here:
