Understanding the Compare Registries Display

Once you have selected the systems or files you want to compare, the Compare Registries screen displays the comparison in a three-pane view as shown in this example:

Figure 4: Compare Registries Display

The Display shows the following:

•The top pane shows the systems or files being compared. System 1, the current system or first file being compared, is color-coded in brown bold. System 2 is color-coded in green italic bold.

•The left-hand pane shows a tree view of keys which includes keys from both systems.

•The right-hand pane shows (at the top) the path for the selected key, and (beneath) values for that key. Each value is composed of three parts: a name, a type, and data. These are color coded as follows:

–Parts of a value are identical on both systems are shown in black normal font.

Note: If you selected Show differences only then parts that are identical are not displayed, however if the results are saved it is still possible to view the complete registry at a later time.

–Parts of a value that exist only on System 1 are shown in brown bold.

–Parts of a value that exist only on System 2 are shown in green italic bold.
