Registry Editor "Save Subtree As" Does Not Complete

ID: Q126702

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 3.5
Microsoft Windows NT Server version 3.5

SYMPTOMS

When you run Registry Editor and back up the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE subtree by choosing Save Subtree As from the File menu, the entire tree is not saved. Although Registry Editor appears to finish saving the file, it stops at software\microsoft\windows nt\current version\perflib\009. It does not save the rest of the subtree information.

Save Subtree As works correctly with the other subtrees.

WORKAROUND

If you need to back up the registry, use Windows NT Backup or RDISK.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.5. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
