I understand machine codes and converting registry from the old days of the
vic-20, commodore 64 and a few other older machines of which i still own and
use, it's just i want to find via ztree the registry in winodws xp home
edition. Over the years i have collected a great many machine codes and
write my own software which i use daily in my business, others look oddly at
the simplicity of the programming involved, so i do understand the registry
and the pitfalls involved and yes i can boot from a floppy and if any probs
appear, can restore the system back to the way it was. Have you ever gotten
a idea, and went to any lengths to investigate your idea. FUnny how i work,
but at the moment the commodore 64 is working away on a databse for a local
business involving over 100,00 single items.
Any way thank you for your words of wisdom, any help always adds a piece to
the jig-saw.

No, you find something that is _presented_ as _looking like_ directories
and such. The registry actually resides in RAM while Windows is running,
and is stored in just a few files when you shut down (in Windows 9x it was
in two files of type .dat, I'm not sure for XP).

the entire many pages and edit it and then re copy it back to a new
installation copy of xp home 32 bit ???

As Vanguard said very harshly, and Mayayana explained in great detail,
this is Not A Good Idea To Try, and probably wouldn't work (and could well
stop the new machine working).
