Registry "Find and Replace"

[Seagasm]

Hi all, I have recently transferred my Windows 7 Username Profile back to the default "C:" from "E:" partition, then I formatted the E:, all good. Most programs are working fine, then I noticed MSOffice2013 Outlook was still looking for the data file on E: and would not load. in the meantime, I had installed Win10Pro on E: as a dual boot.

Anyway, not confusing the issue, I have discovered most of the registry file is still referring to programs/data on E: when it should be C:. I figured I would change the registry entries to reflect that and the W7 Registry Editor is a very tedious procedure to achieve this simple find and replace.

Is there another editor available I could use, the file is too big for Note Pad (++)?

Thank you

Hi Seagasm,

Try this: Advanced Regedit (win32) download | SourceForge.net

Thank you Snick, I did do that but couldn't figure out how to save the file.

Been Googling, can't find any instructional videos. I'll download the program and have a look see. May take me a bit.

Before you start playing with the Registry, back it up, and also, preferably, full system image to external hard drive.

Macrium Reflect free is recommended by many on SevenForums, as I do.
AOMEI backupper free I also recommend and use, easier to navigate the GUI (graphical user interface)
