Have you ever needed to modify the registry of an image, so you download the image to a computer, make the registry changes, and re-upload the image? Well, there is a much easier way!
The Symantec KB Article #2584 will give you step-by-step instructions about how to extract the registry of an image, modify it, and inject it back into the image.
This will save you alot of time and effort.

I am glad...
my article caught your attention. ;-)
worked.
It worked all right, but it was funny to see the link of another article here. Heh.
Ghost has GhRegEdit
FYI; GSS supplies a tool called GhRegEdit which allows for direct editing of "offline" registries - i.e. registries on volumes other than the boot volume, does not even need to be a mounted volume. It even works directly on VMDK's !!
So, some operations that require a registry tweak - or setting up a run once key for example -can be done via a script after the clone.
