regdiff - Diff program for Windows registry files
Contents
Description
regdiff compares two Windows registry files key by key and value by value and generates a text file that
contains the differences between the two files.
A file generated by regdiff can later be applied to a registry file by the regpatch utility.
regdiff and regpatch use the same file format as the regedit32.exe utility from Windows.
