1.
Backup the destination registry key you
want to import over first, open C:\WINDOWS\regedit.exe on destination
computer, find the key you are interested in importing later, right click on it
and select Export. Give it a location and a name you will know what it is. This
will create a YourOriginalKey.reg file.
2.
Save the source registry key, open C:\WINDOWS\regedit.exe on source
computer, find the key you are interested in backing up, right click on it and
select Export. Give it a location and a name you will know what it is. This
will create a YourNewKey.reg file.
3.
Copy the YourNewKey.reg file to the destination computer
anywhere, and double click on the file. click ok to import the key into the
registry.
I have to caution you that this may not be a good idea. A while
ago I tried to restore one of those keys into a newly installed computer, and
ended up with mislabeled left hand side tabs in AB. Since I did not perform
step one, I could not revert to the original. Surprisingly, this could not
be fixed even not with uninstall and reinstall of AB!! It stayed like this
until I rebuilt windows from scratch next time.

Subject: [amibroker] Copying registry keys across computers
Hi
Guys - I have installed AB on a second computer, then copied over all AB files
and directories from my main computer. It works great but it *looks* different.
I believe TJ has said in the past that this can be corrected by
copying over these registry keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\TJP\Broker
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\TJP\Broker
My
question is, what is the best way to copy these sections of the registry from
one computer to another? I would obviously hate to do
something wrong and corrupt the registry of the "destination computer". Thanks
very much!
