Answer 1

You need to use %{QUERY_STRING} to capture the query string data:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^view=(.*)$
RewriteRule ^component/users/?$ %1.html? [R=301,L]

The above rule/condition will take the value of the query string view and use it to form your redirect if the path component/users matches.

Answer 2

RewriteRule ^component/users/\?view=registration$ registration.html$ [R=301,L]
