But yours is a solution when Vista is still running. <br />
<br />
In my case Vista got already the upgrade by Windows7. Means Vista is now located in directory windows.old. I have access to all the folders and files but I don't know how to re-use an old registry key from an old OS which is not anymore running.

But how I can open and re-use an OLD registry? With which tool? And where is the registry located? Windows Vista is now saved in directory windows.old. <br />
If I use regedit.exe then it opens of course only the new registry from Windows7.<br />
<br />
Who can help?<br />

Windows Vista is an operating system created by Microsoft as the successor to Windows XP. It was intended for PCs, workstations and laptops, and shares the same code base as its successor, Windows 7. New features included an updated graphical user interface (GUI) and visual style dubbed Aero, a new search component called Windows Search, redesigned networking, audio, print and display subsystems, and new multimedia tools. Vista aimed to increase the level of communication between machines on a home network, using peer-to-peer technology to simplify sharing files and media between computers and devices. Windows Vista included version 3.0 of the .NET Framework, allowing software developers to write applications without traditional Windows APIs.

Likewise, email client may be referred to a piece of computer hardware or software whose primary or most visible role is to work as an email client. Email clients can also have other systems, like calendars, notes and contact managers.
