My understanding of

reg export /?

tells me that it is impossible to export two sub-keys from two different sub-keys [i.e. from two different places]. And also empirically by the means of creating BAT file with

Code: Select all

reg export "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console" "HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-3797103458-798797042-3558267449-1001\Console" "C:\Users\YOUR-USER-NAME\Documents\CMD _ PowerShell Settings.reg"

Code: Select all

reg export "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-3797103458-798797042-3558267449-1001\Console" "C:\Users\YOUR-USER-NAME\Documents\CMD _ PowerShell Settings.reg"

Code: Select all

reg export "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console" reg export "HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-3797103458-798797042-3558267449-1001\Console" "C:\Users\YOUR-USER-NAME\Documents\CMD _ PowerShell Settings.reg"

codes failed in yielding me a result of creating for me any REG. And my goal is to export both Registry keys [i.e. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console and HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-3797103458-798797042-3558267449-1001\Console] at the same time and to one file

And so: how can I do that; either with batch scripting or some other workaround?

This should do the trick!

Code: Select all

reg export "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console" "%userprofile%\Documents\1.reg"
reg export "HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-3797103458-798797042-3558267449-1001\Console" "%userprofile%\Documents\2.reg"
echo Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00>"%userprofile%\Documents\CMD _ PowerShell Settings.reg"
type "%userprofile%\Documents\1.reg" | find /v "Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00">>"%userprofile%\Documents\CMD _ PowerShell Settings.reg"
type "%userprofile%\Documents\2.reg" | find /v "Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00">>"%userprofile%\Documents\CMD _ PowerShell Settings.reg"
del "%userprofile%\Documents\1.reg"
del "%userprofile%\Documents\2.reg"

copy the code and put it in a file regextract.bat, save it and run it

Some changes to Lucky's solution:

Code: Select all

@echo off
reg export "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console" "%userprofile%\Documents\CMD _ PowerShell Settings.reg"
reg export "HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-3797103458-798797042-3558267449-1001\Console" "%userprofile%\Documents\1.reg"
type "%userprofile%\Documents\1.reg" | find /v "Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00">>"%userprofile%\Documents\CMD _ PowerShell Settings.reg"
del "%userprofile%\Documents\1.reg"

Solution by @Lucky works A-OK, while the one by @miskox worsks half way: it writes in the latter part of REG file

address; which is stunning to me because I do not use an Asian language. I mean: what is that and where does it come from?

What you see there is a character encoding issue.
Somehow the resulting file was created with the byte order mark (bom) of 'UTF-16 LE' (which could happen for various reasons).
Then the reg file was appended.

Save the text into a file using encoding 'UTF-16 LE'.
Then open it within a hex-editor.
Delete the first two bytes (which in hex are: FF FE),save the result and open as an ANSI file.
Then you see, that the text says:

The first thing I thought, when I saw your question was...are you sure you need to do this?

Just in case you are unaware , the key HKCU is loaded from the relevant HKU\SID key at login time. It is very likely, unless you've just been messing around with your registry, that your own SID is S-1-5-21-3797103458-798797042-3558267449-1001. If that is the case you are simply trying to save two matching registry entries to the same file, which is pointless, as the unloading of HKCU upon logoff will save those entries back to the HKU\SID key. As soon as you log back on, those entries will match each other again.

There is a quick way for you to determine if there are any differences in the two locations, and that is by using the exact same utility you have used yourself, reg.exe:

Code: Select all

SystemRoot%\System32\reg.exe Compare "HKCU\Console" "HKU\S-1-5-21-4151016604-2149655897-3626235661-1001\Console" /S /OD

If you see something like this:

Code: Select all

Result Compared:  Identical

…then clearly there is no need whatsover to copy both to the one location, and you would only need to export HKCU\Console, or HKU\S-1-5-21-4151016604-2149655897-3626235661-1001\Console, depending upon the reason for your task in the first place.

There is also an added benefit to doing this first, you could change the /OD option to /ON, which would not output any differences message, and allow you to use the error codes:

0 - Successful, the result compared is identical
1- Failed
2 - Successful, the result compared is different

…to determine whether you should copy both, copy just one, or something else.

As there are multiple versions / settings of GUI for both CMD and PowerShell- yes

And no- prior to this I have not messed around in the Registry with CMD. I always was forced to apply changes manually, through settings, which was annoying whenever I had a new version of Windows installed or restored from an image after testing out some solutions / settings

This has been a long time issue for me - and finally I am able to export and import all of those that I know of [i.e. happen to be using]

Posted: **21 Jan 2023 11:02**

You clearly didn't read my response. Please use the reg.exe command I offered, you will almost certainly see that both keys are identical, and therefore your entire question void.

You are telling me about what should be - and I am telling how it is on my system, coming out from empirical data

I had a problem - I have it no more

Posted: **16 Feb 2023 11:58**

Just because you are wrong, or your system is completely broken, does not mean that my advice is incorrect. Your HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-4151016604-2149655897-3626235661-1001 subkey is automatically mapped and mirrored, (a little like a junction / hard link), to HKEY_CURRENT_USER, when logged in. They are the same!
