Beyond compare – prefix any registry key comparisons with reg:\\

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/08/03

When you start with a blank registry comparison, then you need to compare keys copied from RegEdit with reg:\

For instance, when fixing [WayBack] Delphi fails to start after Windows did some “Program Compatibility Assistant” magic to it when BDS.exe crashed because the compiler ran out of memory:… – Jeroen Wiert Pluimers – Google+ I compared these:

reg:\\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Embarcadero\BDS

reg:\\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Embarcadero\JeroenProfile

Via: [WayBackSpecs

Note: Beyond compare registry settings are in:

  • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Scooter Software\Beyond Compare 4
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Scooter Software\Beyond Compare
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Scooter Software\Beyond Compare 4
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Scooter Software\Beyond Compare
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Scooter Software\Beyond Compare 4
