Windows XP Registry

[FallenAce]

I don't know if anyone fools around in XP like this, but would anyone know how to or where to go to find information about sorting the XP registry by date of install? I have a series of reg keys that I need to separate from the rest of the registry, and since it's hundreds of entries in a list of thousands - if not tens of thousands - I was wondering if I can sort the registry by date. Anybody have any good advice?

Sorry, can't do that in the registry.
It's just one big mess.

Yes, the words "windows registry" and "mess" go hand in hand.

Actually, I found a program called Registry Workshop that does it. It also compares registries and shows you the differences between them. Now all I have to do is find out how to export the differential from the two...

I just let Norton handle all that crap. Hasn't burned me yet.
