Hi. First time here. My Toshiba W8.1 device became unstable. While I research the best way to refresh/system restore it, I resort to using my XPSP3 laptop. Mainly for email and internet.
I expect to be using XP for an extended period. I want to transfer Windows Live Mail messages and settings, which are stored in the registry. [HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail\Rules\Mail]. I have backups of all my mail messages but I don't know how to retrieve the registry keys in the 8,1 device from within the WRE tools. I doubt regedit is available.
I have been using Tweaking,com - Registry Backup v1.9.0 for both devices. Here's my problem: I have the 8.1 reg backups on a USB drive. I tried to get TRB to access the files, but it will only "see" the local path to restore. I draw a blank. :blank:
So is there a way to view and copy the registry keys I need, either with TRB or a third-party utility?
Off topic: this editor is the most feature-laden I've seen. (I've seen a lot since 1981) :artist:

Dont try to restore the registry from the 8 system to xp, it will crash the system since that is the entire registry.
Instead on the 8 system that has the keys you need just go to the keys in regedit and right click on it and hit export. It will save as a .reg file. Then take that file to the xp system and double click on it and it will get added to the registry :wink:

You were right! :cheesy: I was wrong. :confused: "I doubt regedit is available." Regedit was available in 8.1 WRE.
You the man.. er "dog" :wink:
