Registry Confusion...

[Mocomm_E]

Hey All. I have a clients system here, that seems to have a seriously confused registry. It appears like they (client has not admitted to ... yet) installed a new drive so all the letters are screwed up for windows. Things pointing to D: when they are all on E:.

I know a few things to do, but I was wondering if anyone knows of a utilitiy or hidden function that would allow me to do a batch find & replace in the registry to update where the files actually are...??

Thanks a ton.

I downloaded a file here once called COA32 that does the find and replace very effectively. I've used it to change the registry/ini settings for various programs and directories as well as to clean up messes like you have encountered.
