reg-load: Load a backup file into the specified key.
$ reg load ${key_name} ${path\to\file}
try on your machine

The command "reg load ${key_name} ${path\to\file}" is used to load a registry hive from a file into the Windows Registry.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "reg load": This is the command to load a registry hive.
  • "${key_name}": This is the name you want to assign to the loaded registry hive. It could be any custom name you choose. For example, if you want to load a file called "software.dat" into the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" hive, you can set the key name as "LoadedSoftwareHive".
  • "${path\to\file}": This is the path to the file containing the registry hive you want to load. You need to specify the full path including the file name and extension. For example, "C:\Users\User\Backup\software.dat".

When this command is executed, it will load the registry hive file specified by "${path\to\file}" into the registry under the key name "${key_name}". The loaded hive will be accessible under the specified key in the Windows Registry, allowing you to view and modify its contents.
