On the windows-linux interoperability front we have Samba for file/print sharing (SMB/CIFS), rdesktop for terminal services (RDP). Is there any linux tool available that will allow you to view and edit the registry of a remote windows machine (ie. not a dual-boot situation where your trying to hack the files from the windows partition while running linux)?

Just to map a network share directory you would use this command:
net use \\Server\ShareName\Directory
This mapping would:
- not be persistent
- would have to be established and authenticated at user login
- you would access the share using the UNC path, and not a local drive letter
If you want to access the network share through a location on your local C: drive, you'll want to set up a symbolic link:
mklink /d C:\Folder\ShareName \\Server\ShareName\Directory
Now when you navigate to C:\Folder\Share you'll see the contents of \\\Server\Sharename\Directory. You'll still need to provide authentication for the resource with something like net use (or just be logged into a domain account on a domain system that has access) otherwise the link will probably error out angrily.

I think that this is so trivial to do over a remote desktop or vnc connection that there's little pressure for such a tool. It seems
regeditactually runs underwine, and can be directed to open a network registry. The same can be said ofreglite.
