| Guest | Registry Editor UI question Hi Vista Ultimate - fully updated When I use 'Find' in the RegEdit program, and when a match is found, the list on the left sometimes has a highlight indicating which key the right panel is listing - *but* most of the time, the list on the left is completely barren of any indication as to which one is listed in the right hand panel. Question: is there a way to perhaps edit the folder icon for the left hand panel such that a matched item icon is different from the others listed? Or perhaps, some other way to indicate which item in the left panel is being listed in the right panel? I was trying to find some reference to MS Office Picture Manager - Send To list. The idea was to try to add Paint as a Send To item (only Word and Excel are shown just now - these are the only Office programmes I have installed). Any help/pointers gratefully received. -- regards, Les Hay, Livingston, Scotland |

Many of us have griped about that through several generations of RegEdit. :>( Of course, we can look at the Status Bar to see which key is currently in focus. RC -- R. C.

RegEditX will solve the problem. http://www.regeditx.com/ It's still called beta 2 but I have had no problems with it, both XP and Vista. It's free . (You have to run as Admin in Vista.) .. |
