sync some registry folders and sub folders with all respective keys inside

[miggarc]

Hi

Before anything else, I need to tell you I've been using FFS for many years, in mirror mode option, and it is really an absolutely exceptional tool for one to one, discrete file sync .
It never had produce a single file missing or anything similar during this long time.


Now I will need to sync something different (at least for me) from what I've been syncing until now,
although in the same mirror mode I've always used .

I need to sync some registry folders and sub folders with all respective keys inside (again... mirror mode) .

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MatrixTSL\FlowcodeV9

For a better idea, here it is

Can someone help me on the syntax for the left side on FSS ?

I tried drag and drop but it doesn't work for the regedit window.

Lots of thanks in advance,

Miguel

I don't think you can do that directly.
Instead, you have to let the Registry Editor Export the desired section as a *.reg file, and then you can sync that file using FFS.
You may create a script (e.g. *.bat, *.cmd, etc.) to first export the (relevant section of) the registry and then run the corresponding FFS sync. See here and here.

Plerry is correct, the registry is not a folder. You can sync the registry hives themselves, DEFAULT SAM SECURITY SOFTWARE SYSTEM are the five main ones. This won't do you any good though, as using those on any other computer would break everything. You need a batch script that exports them keys you want.
