MORE INFORMATION The registration database is a central location for
OLE-related information. However, the standard registration editor
(RegEdit.exe) was not designed specifically for OLE. Regman.exe is a Windows
utility that assists in the management of the registration database (Reg.dat).
Unlike other registration management tools and editors, Regman.exe focuses
solely on OLE information stored in the registration database. With the advent
of OLE 2.0, the amount and location of registration information is becoming
increasingly complex. REGMAN offers a view of this information in a manner
consistent with how an OLE container application would display it.
Regman.exe is provided with an accompanying Help file, REGMAN.HLP. REGMAN.HLP
discusses the basics of the OLE registration database and how OLE registry
information is stored and used.
