C<HKEY_USERS\I<SID>>
 
where I<SID> is a Windows User SID (eg. C<S-1-5-18>).
 
C<HKEY_USERS\I<username>>
 
where I<username> is a local user name (this is a libguestfs extension).
 
You can use C<HKLM> as a shorthand for C<HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>, and C<HKU> for C<HKEY_USERS>.
 
The literal keys C<HKEY_USERS\$SID> and C<HKEY_CURRENT_USER> are not supported (there is no "current user").
 
Windows 8 "fast startup" can prevent virt-win-reg from being able to edit the Registry. See L<guestfs(3)/WINDOWS HIBERNATION AND WINDOWS 8 FAST STARTUP>.
 
ENCODING
 
C<virt-win-reg> expects that regedit files have already been reencoded in the local encoding. Usually on Linux hosts, this means UTF-8 with Unix-style line endings. Since Windows regedit files are often in UTF-16LE with Windows-style line endings, you may need to reencode the whole file before or after processing.
 
To reencode a file from Windows format to Linux (before processing it with the I<--merge> option), you would do something like this:
 
iconv -f utf-16le -t utf-8 < win.reg | dos2unix > linux.reg
iconv -f utf-16le -t utf-8 < win.reg | dos2unix > linux.reg
To go in the opposite direction, after exporting and before sending the file to a Windows user, do something like this:
 
unix2dos linux.reg | iconv -f utf-8 -t utf-16le > win.reg
unix2dos linux.reg | iconv -f utf-8 -t utf-16le > win.reg
For more information about encoding, see L<Win::Hivex::Regedit(3)>.
 
If you are unsure about the current encoding, use the L<file(1)> command. Recent versions of Windows regedit.exe produce a UTF-16LE file with Windows-style (CRLF) line endings, like this:
 
$ file software.reg
software.reg: Little-endian UTF-16 Unicode text, with very long lines,
with CRLF line terminators
$ fichier software.reg
software.reg : texte Unicode UTF-16 little-endian, avec de très longues lignes,
avec des terminaisons de ligne CRLF
This file would need conversion before you could I<--merge> it.
 
CurrentControlSet etc.
 
Registry keys like C<CurrentControlSet> don’t really exist in the Windows Registry at the level of the hive file, and therefore you cannot modify these.
 
C<CurrentControlSet> is usually an alias for C<ControlSet001>. In some circumstances it might refer to another control set. The way to find out is to look at the C<HKLM\SYSTEM\Select> key:
 
# virt-win-reg WindowsGuest 'HKLM\SYSTEM\Select'
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Select]
"Current"=dword:00000001
"Default"=dword:00000001
"Failed"=dword:00000000
"LastKnownGood"=dword:00000002
# virt-win-reg WindowsGuest 'HKLM\SYSTEM\Select'
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Select]
"Current"=dword:00000001
"Default"=dword:00000001
"Failed"=dword:00000000
"LastKnownGood"=dword:00000002
"Current" is the one which Windows will choose when it boots.
 
Similarly, other C<Current...> keys in the path may need to be replaced.
 
DELETING REGISTRY KEYS AND VALUES
 
To delete a whole registry key, use the syntax:
 
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Foo]
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Foo]
To delete a single value within a key, use the syntax:
 
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Foo]
"Value"=-
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Foo]
"Value"=-
WINDOWS TIPS
 
Note that some of these tips modify the guest disk image. The guest I<must> be shut off, else you will get disk corruption.
