Win2000,XP,Vista:-Using your registry favorites on another PC as well

Windows saves the favorites directly in the registry. So all you have to do is export the relevant branch in an REG file and import it to the target computer to use the bookmarks on it. This is how it works. In the registry editor, open the 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Regedit\Favorites' key. All the entries of the favorites' menus are listed here. Select the key and open the 'Registration | Export registration file' or 'File|Export'.
In the next step, assign a name, for example: Regedit-Favorites. Select the option 'Selected branch' and the path selected there and click on the 'Save' button. Now you need to copy this file to the other computer.
On the other computer, double-click on this file to view the favorites. Accept them in the registry by clicking 'Yes'.
