Export Reg Key in non-Hex format
Can anyone provide a script (batch or VBS) that will export a reg key in non-hex format?
I need to export the contents of a reg key but it exports the result in hex format. I need to see the text equivalent.
Export entire tree:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software
An excerpt exported as:
Need it exported as the text (how it appears when viewed in the registry):

%USERPROFILE%\Music
Exporting the folder/key as a .txt you will have a readable list.

Yup. Already tried exporting directly to a text file. Same result - all hex.
reg export "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders" C:\UserShellFolders.txt
Correct. You have to convert AFTER export.

That did the trick. Thank you.
You are welcome.
You can use a hex converter after (many of these) or write a routine in VBA to do the conversion after export. There might be public domain VBA code to this but I do not know about the latter.
