RE: [ActiveDir] Open Another User's Registry File
Open Regedit, set your focus to HKLM, use Load Hive from the File Menu. Be sure to unload the hive when you are done.

RE: [ActiveDir] Open Another User's Registry File
Yup. In Regedit, highlight the HKU tree and click file, load hive. Browse to the ntuser.dat file, open it and give it a name, ie TempReg. You can then edit that hive in regedit just as you would the normal HKCU hive. When youre done, highlight the root of the tree TempReg and click file, unload hive. You can also edit the hive using .reg files by changing HKEY_CURRENT_USER to HKEY_USERS\TempReg in the .reg file and importing as normal.
