Okay, I am going to uninstall RA2 (Red Alert 2).
I know that as a result of Renegade & RA2 being in the same directory and made by the same company. The Registry entries will be in the same area (Folder).
When you uninstall the game it would usually remove all the personall data.
Such as Online UserName, Password, DAOB(Date of birth) etc.
Although this problem is overcome by the handy\unhandy (More handy) Registry entries it makes, and stores on your computer.
Now, The problem is that.
Even though when I uninstall RA2 or any other game (I will use RA2 as example though) it will keep the registry entries stored safely on HD (Hard Drive), they won't magically move themselves over to a new computer if you install the game on another P.C.
And I don't want to be stuck unable to go online because I can't use my account if I forgot my password, used E-Mail (I have 2) etc.
For a game like RA2 (or Renegade) where I have nearly 9 accounts and sometimes use different passwords it is a real problem.
In short.
I need to know how I can "Save" these Registry entries and store them so that I can put them into the proper Directory after installing game on another P.C, so I dont get stuck twidling my thumbs trying to think "What the hell would I have put as the password?" or "WTF did I put here?".
Thanks->
