So, I just bought a new PC, and am working on transferring most of my old files and games from the old one onto this new one. Now, I've had some of these programs (some of the games especially) for quite awhile, and as a result, I've lost some of my CD keys and even install disks for a couple. This of course makes them hard to reinstall =) I was wondering, then, is it possible to transfer your windows registry from one PC to another, via flash drive or something similar? Being able to copy or merge the old registry entries in the new registry would be very useful in this situation. If a direct transfer isn't possible, would I be able to insert new entries in the new PC's registry of the old entries (ie, type them manually)?

You could transfer the registry, but that sounds like a quick way to screw up your new computer. Instead, you should look into finding the CD-KEYs in the registry. If you search google, you can probably find some info on where in the registry, each game save the registry key. -Ryan Adams Free Computer Tips and more:http://RyanTAdams.com Paid Tech Support: Black Diamond

Alright, I thought of trying to find the CD-Keys but quickly gave up as I didn't know exactly where to search. Should've known Google would help =) Thanks for the reply!

Also, Belarc Advisor will list (some) software keys. -Ryan Adams Free Computer Tips and more:http://RyanTAdams.com Paid Tech Support: Black Diamond
