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.
