Hi, all,
Just wanted to pass along a nice little tweaked program for making the registry a lot easier to use.
Even with Windows Vista, the basic registry editor has not changed - and one *sorely* missing feature is an 'address bar' of sorts, allowing you easy navigation through the registry.
Ever read a tutorial, like
Copy as Path - Add or Remove from Context Menu and wished you could easily open that registry key without having to navigate through the tree on the left and find each individual hive / key?
Well, with
RegEditX - Tweaks for the Windows Registry Editor (REGEDIT) you can - quickly, easily, and painlessly.
See, RegEditX has that missing address bar - so, if you want to go to the key mentioned in the tutorial I linked above,
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellx\ContextMenuHandlers\CopyAsPathMenu, you simply copy the entire thing, paste it in the address bar in RegEditX, and presto! You're there.
If you have need to use the registry a lot, or are like me, like to add system tweaks by hand, then this is a must have program for you.
*WARNING* - Editing the registry can result in your computer being rendered unusable. You assume all risks if you decide to edit anything in the registry. I assume no liability in providing you with this link. As always, be sure to make backups prior to changing anything.
