reg-export: Export all sub keys and values of a specific key.
$ reg export ${key_name} ${path\to\file-reg}
try on your machine
This command is used in the Windows command prompt or PowerShell to export a registry key and its subkeys, values, and data to a specified file.
Here's a breakdown of the command syntax:
reg export
: This is the command to export the registry key.${key_name}
: This is a placeholder for the name or path of the specific registry key that you want to export. You need to replace${key_name}
with the actual name or path of the key.${path\to\file-reg}
: This is a placeholder for the destination file path where you want to export the registry key. You need to replace${path\to\file-reg}
with the actual file path and filename that you want to use for the exported registry key.
For example, if you want to export the registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Example" to a file named "example.reg" located in the "C:\Exports" directory, the command would be:
reg export HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Example C:\Exports\example.reg
After running this command, the specified registry key and its contents will be exported to the "example.reg" file.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
