I opened an SR about this and was told I need to submit it as a change request. Why is it I can use Bart PE or some other utility to look at a Windows image, take the registry file, edit it on another machine, and then re-import it back into the image but I cannot do the same using the ZMG Explorer? I was told it's a security and/or licensing issue of some type. So I can import a virus-laden critical Windows DLL file back in to an image but I cannot do the same with a registry file? Doesn't make sense.

So I'm submitting this now as an official request. I want to be able to extract/import registry files so I don't need to go through the whole process of bringing an entire image down, booting it up and let it come out of sysprep, modify the registry, then reseal and re-upload said image all just to make a simple registry change. Anyone can take a registry file from another machine and load it up using regedit and modify it. I just want to be able to do the same from an offline image.
