Regutils is a collection of programs to help in managing the configuration of Windows software and systems. The utilities can be used to apply user and machine specific customizations on the fly as users log in or as machines are booted.
They can also be used to identify and correct similarities and differences between software configurations. These may be helpful in debug situations or when consistency or differences need to be maintained.
The regutils package was initially created and maintained by Michael Rendell at http://www.cs.mun.ca/~michael/regutils through version 0.10, but is now maintained here.
Binary package download of the INI Diff and Patch utilities alone without the older registry utils can be found here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/inidiffutils
