My Windows NT account name was changed, and when starting PuTTY it now appears that my saved session information has been lost.

The FAQ suggests that PuTTY sessions should be stored in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SimonTatham\PuTTY.

Wikipedia explains that HKCU maps to NTUSER.DAT and USRCLASS.DAT under the current user's Desktop and Settings folder.

I still have these files for my old account name, but I'm guessing there is no easy way to extract data from these files?
