Can anyone point me at a good doc on farting about with the registry? Or do you feel like giving me the fool's guide? I have large tracts of registry entries to stuff in, and adding them via Edit/new in regedit is an absolute PITA and unworkably slow. I have files from exported from a win98 registry (via windoze regedit) with the correct info. I need to add because programs are not finding installed packages. TIA, -- Declan Moriarty <junk_mail@iol.ie>

you can just export the registry entries as .reg files and import them again? you can also just edit the actual wine registry files in your .wine directory.

You also can directly edit Wine's registry by any text editor (you can find your registry in ~/.wine/*reg files).
