Re: machine name

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

Hi Pegasus,
Thanks for your direction. I found out how to get the computer name from
registry. But, how do I load the SYSTEM file from the dead machine? What
program should I use and which SYSTEM file should I look into?

TIA
