One of our Win2k doesn't boot due to disk problems. Recovery is not
possible. I must to reinstall.
All files I've copied to another disk on another PC.
I would like to view some of old registry settings. Under Win9x I can export
registry to a text file fromm a command line regedit and work with text
editor or viewer.
Is it possible to do something similar under win2k? regedit have not any
switches and does not work from a command line. May be some third party
tools are exist.

Run regedt32, then from the Local Machine Hive, choose Registry|Load Hive.
Then navigate to the location of the hive you want to edit/read. Give it
some tempname (doesn't matter what). Then when your done, move the cursor
back to tempname, then Registry|Unload Hive, Registry|Exit
