ÂWine doesn't come with the registry keys of every Windows program ever written. I think what Vitamin meant is that it is in a format similar to, but not identical to Windows .reg files and that changes (by directly editing) can't be expected to behave in the same way as changes to Windows .reg files. Creating a .reg file (with the edits) and importing it with regedit is not that hard and a lot less likely to break Wine. This is how it needs to be done on Windows anyway, where the registry is in binary hives that can not be edited directly (at least using standard, supported tools). If not to edit it, why are you trying to figure out the format of the registry files? Most of the reasons that do not involve editing it probably involve the wine source code anyway... Gert
