How do I run regedit on another PC on my MS network across the network from my Win2000 PC?
Is It possible?

Thanks

With remote control software installed on both computers, it is possible to run regedit remotely... or any other program as well. One computer needs to be setup as a "waiting host", then other you use the software to connect to it. Make sure youset a secure password on the waiting host.

Remote control software such as PC Anywhere, Remote Control, WinVNC (free from AT&T), etc. will all allow this functionality.

Providing you are logged in as an Admin, you can just remotely connect to another Registry with Regedit.
Open Regedit, then click File -> Connect Remote Registry.
In the window that opens up, click the Browse button and browse to the remote systemyou want to open. Select it, and click OK.

hope this helps
