I want to copy files from an older PC (Win2K) to a new PC (Win2K) and would 
prefer not to go through the tedious process of reinstalling everything.  I 
have a copy of Norton Ghost and can copy an image of my existing C: 
partition to the new machine.  Unfortunately, due to smaller disk sizes, I 
have additional disks on the old machine which have program files on them 
(which I would also like to move to the new machine).

Does anyone know of a registry editor which will allow me to make global 
changes (e.g. change all occurrences of "E:\program files\" to "C:\program 
files\")?  CleanSweep (acquired some years back by Symantec) used to have a 
"Registry Genie" feature which did this nicely in Win95, NT 4.0, etc., but 
I don't know if there are now similar tools which support Win2K.  Any 
ideas?  Thanks in advance.
