The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0
  • Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0

SUMMARY

In Windows NT 4.0, you can remotely control and configure Windows 95 registry settings. To control and configure those settings, you must run Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).

MORE INFORMATION

WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious, system-wide problems that may require you to reinstall Windows NT to correct them. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use this tool at your own risk.

To connect to the Windows 95 computer's registry from a computer running Windows NT, perform the following steps:

  1. Click the Start button, and then click Run.

  2. Type Regedit.exe, and then click OK.

  3. From the Registry menu, select Connect Network Registry.

  4. Enter the computer name of the Windows 95 computer.

NOTE: If you upgrade from Windows 3.1x to Windows NT 4.0, Regedit.exe is not available. This is because of the need to avoid overwriting the OLE link registry REGEDIT.EXE that exists with Windows 3.1x. In order to obtain the new Windows 95 Registry Editor, Regedit.exe, copy the file from the Windows NT 4.0 CD.
