Well, you are simplifying things a bit too much. The registry itself is NOT, in fact, text. It is an indexed, hierarchical database. You can certainly use regedit to export a key to text, but the question here was about doing it programmatically, without regedit. Regedit supports the backup/restore function that Tim mentioned, but to do so, it has to acquire backup privileges. If you want to use the same functions from your own program, YOU have to acquire the backup privileges. -- Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
