When installing Customizer.CAB you will also install any .reg file found in Extended Rom. This way you don't have to make CAB's for simple registry changes. You can now quickly create .reg files to be included at hard reset.
.reg files in the following directories will be applied to registry:
\Extended_Rom
\Extended_Rom\REG
\Storage Card\Extended_Rom
\Storage Card\Extended_Rom\REG
\Storage Card\EXTROM
\Storage Card\EXTROM\REG
this way it will work with most of the custom WM5 versions.
How to use:
Add Customizer.CAB to your extended rom and add the appropriate line in Config.txt (CAB: \<extended rom>\Customizer.CAB
Then copy .reg files to any of the locations above.
Example of how to track changes in registry and create a .reg file:
1 - Use PHM RegEdit to export everything in registry to a new .reg file
2 - Make the neccesary changes to your device (Owner data, etc..)
3 - Use PHM RegEdit to export everything in registry to a new .reg file
4 - Transfer the two .reg files to your computer
5 - Use RegDiff (http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA000007/regdiff.htm) to compare the two files and create a diff .reg file
6 - Remove unneccesary keys from the diff file (like state, date...)
7 - Transfer the diff .reg file back to your device
