How to backup registry key to reg file

Submitted by Reisll on February 27, 2016 - 4:28am

Hi everyone,

I'm currently making a portable version of UltraISO using PortableApps.com Launcher.
The program is working fine now. However, It saves settings in the registry key:
HKCU\S-1-5-21-1749014816-2095996515-565535614-1000\Software\EasyBoot Systems\UltraISO\5.0
All values will be written to that key after the program exit. If I make change to the program, it will be saved in the registry. Thus, If I want to keep the settings (that I made), I need to backup the key and use it to replace the reg file in Data\settings.

(Please made) "PortableApps.com Format Creator", apps.

MPC-HC player - Completely portable?

Submitted by soother on January 14, 2016 - 5:48am

I am setting up a PC after fitting a new large hard drive. I just downloaded added MPC-HC to my portable apps folder to replace a stand-alone portable version on a different partition.
When I opened this new player for the first time I was surprised to find that the playlist window was already open as it had been in the other player, and although I had to set up file associations, the custom key settings from the other player were also there. If these apps are portable I don't see how this is possible without copying the .ini file from the old to the new.
Any thoughts?
