Hi Adam,

Try this: With Regedit export the registry to a *.reg file. Save a
copy of it for a backup. The *.reg files are text and can be edited
with a text editor. Use Wordpad, it has a search and replace
feature. When finished import the reg file with Regedit. Double
clicking on a REG file will import it so be careful. If you mess up
the first one you have the backup REG file. Always keep one
original REG file backed up to import. Backup System.dat and
User.dat before doing anything. (disclaimer)  :-)
