Why not use a file name extention (vary microsoft like thing to do) First lets use standard Root key Name Abbreviations HKEY_CURRENT_USER HKCU HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE HKLM HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT HKCR HKEY_USERS HKEY_USERS HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG As for value data types, we could use: REG_SZ .sz REG_DWORD .dword REG_BINARY .binary REG_EXPAND_SZ .expand REG_MULTI_SZ .mutli So this: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] "WinVNC"="data goes here" would become: /proc/registry/HKLM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Run/WinVNC.sz Good or bad idea? One more things to be carefull of, is the use of roming profiles.... HKCU can change.
