If the target user(s) are using Windows 9x, why not just download

C:\Windows\System.dat
C:\Windows\User.dat

These files contain most or all of the Windows 9x registry (dependent
on whether user profiles are enabled or not), and can be readily
dumped into ASCII using RegEdit. Windows 9x does NOT keep these files
locked when using them, so you can read/download them without any
problem. This is (alas) not possible on NT, AFAIK...

You can also try:
C:\Windows\System.da0          (registry backup file for Win95)
C:\Windows\User.da0            (              "               )
C:\Windows\SysBckup\rb000.cab  (registry backup file for Win98)
C:\Windows\SysBckup\rb001.cab  (              "               )
C:\Windows\SysBckup\rb002.cab  (              "               )
C:\Windows\SysBckup\rb003.cab  (              "               )
C:\Windows\SysBckup\rb004.cab  (              "               )

These last five also contain copies of System.ini and Win.ini, and
are even nicely compressed into M$-Cabinet format for speedy
downloading. ;-)
