So you need to copy a key from one part of the registry to another?  Don't want to use a third-party program?  It's easy cheesy, with RegEdit and Notepad.


  1. In RegEdit, select the key you wish to copy.  right-click and select export
  2. Save the *.reg file somewhere
  3. Edit the Reg file with notepad, manually changing the key location.
  4. Save the Reg file
  5. In RegEdit, click on File then Import.  Navigate to the newly changed Reg File, and viola, you're done!
