Just copy user.dat and system.dat off to different names. Or open the riegistry with regedit and export the whole thing. Or you can export individual sections of the registry. The make the changes and export again.

To compare, I recommend TextPad - it's shareware - NotePad on steroids. Has a great comparison facility. Can open files in binary. It's shareware - <www.textpad.com>

But I think share info is on the server, not the PC.

Okay, the last piece of the puzzle.  I can get to a different share, and it
works fine.  This share will allow me to do most of my work.  The only share
failing right now is the share to my root drive.  Two machines can handle
it, one can't.  This drops the DEFCON level a couple of notches.  So now I
can attack the problem a little more leisurely and methodically.

So, with that in mind, does anybody know what registry keys might be created
for file shares?  And if not, does anybody know of a good registry
save/restore/compare tool (preferably freeware, since I don't plan to use it
often)?  With that I can do my own investigation.
