Accessing Remote Registries by Using Registry Editor

To solve a problem on a remote computer running Windows 95, you might need to access the entire Registry for the computer. In this case, you should use Registry Editor because System Policy Editor allows access to only a subset of Registry settings.

Note

To use Registry Editor to edit the Registry on a remote computer, the Microsoft Remote Registry service must be installed on the remote computer, as described in "Setting Up for Remote Administration" earlier in this chapter.

To edit the Registry on a remote computer by using Registry Editor

1. In Registry Editor, click the Registry menu, and then click Connect Network Registry.
2. In the Connect Network Registry dialog box, type the name of the computer you want to remotely administer.

   Windows 95 adds the contents of the remote Registry below the contents of the local Registry.

   

3. Makes changes by using the methods described in Chapter 33, "Windows 95 Registry."
