Hallo,
could somebody help me to do this
Problem:
I need my Windows Registry to patch for setting back my Program Folder to
C:\ (it is on D: in W98PRG
that means

i did my Progam Folder to D:\W98PRG
and want now to change to C:\Programme
but i saw in the exported registry that the naming was PROGRA~1 (8.3) in
some Cases.

for example:
___________________________________________________________________________
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\VarLDID]
"28700"="D:\\W98PRG"
"28701"="D:\\W98Prg"
"28702"="D:\\W98PRG"
"28710"="D:\\W98PRG\\ZUBEHR"
"28720"="D:\\W98PRG\\ZUBEHR\\HYPERT~1"
M
"28730"="D:\\W98PRG\\GEMEIN~1"
"28732"="D:\\W98PRG\\GEMEIN~1"
"28740"="D:\\W98PRG\\GEMEIN~1\\MICROS~1"
"28742"="D:\\W98PRG\\GEMEIN~1\\MICROS~1"
"29000"="C:\\NT4WORK\\NTPRG\\INTERN~1"
"29001"="C:\\NT4WORK\\NTPRG\\Internet Explorer"

What "AND"? This will do it:

     sed '/~/s/D:\\\\W98PRG/C:\\\\PROGRA~1/' myreg.reg
