Registry Finder 2.59.0 Silent

[大†Shinegumi†大]

 

 

Registry Finder is an improved replacement for the built-in Windows registry editor. It has many features that makes working with registry more productive, comfortable and safe, including:

 

 

• Cut/Copy/Paste keys and/or values.
• Undo and redo registry modifications (except changing permissions).
• Multiple local and remote registry windows.
• Fast, non blocking search.
• Whole search results are displayed in a list.
• Multiple search results window.
• Ability to search within previous search results narrowing down your search scope.
• Ability to search for hidden keys.
•  

Registry Finder allows you to browse the local registry; create, delete, rename keys and values; modify values as its natural data type (string, multistring, DWORD) or as a binary data. It is allowed to open multiple Registry windows. Next time you start Registry Finder, those windows will be reopened on the same keys as before.

The Find operation is efficient and quick. All found items are displayed in a separate window as a list. Each line represents a single match with the search criteria. The icon shows where the match occurred: key name, value name or value data. Matched text is highlighted with red.

 

You can jump to any found item in the Registry window or edit/delete items right in the Find Results window.
Items in the Find Results window can be saved to file in .reg or .txt format. In latter case, items are separated by tabulator. It allows easy data importing and analyzing in other programs, such as Microsoft Excel.

With the Replace feature you can easily replace all or particular occurrences of one string with another. The replacement is performed only in items that are in the Find Results window. In the Replace dialog you specify either all items or just selected ones. After replacement is done, items in the window are updated. If some item do not match the search criteria any more it still remains in the list.

 

All operations that alter the registry including deletion and replacement can be undone and redone. The operations are listed in the History window. To open it, click View|History in the main menu. The last performed operation is marked with a yellow arrow.

Full name of the key can be copied to clipboard.

 

Dark theme

Registry Finder automatically uses dark theme when you turn on dark mode in Windows. (Head to Settings > Personalization > Colors. Select the "Dark" option under the "Choose your app mode" section.) Dark mode is available only in Windows 10 so, in turn, the dark theme in Registry Finder is available only in Windows 10. 

It is possible to turn off dark theme when Windows dark mode is on through the config file.
After the first run, Registry Finder creates the following entry:

<ForceLightMode>false</ForceLightMode>

Make sure Registry Finder is not running and change the entry to

<ForceLightMode>true</ForceLightMode>

I could not make some UI elements to be dark (some due to technical issues, some due to I was too focused on the main window and did not noticed them on time). This include the status bar in the main window, drop-down list in all combo boxes, data controls in the Find dialog, the main control in the Modify Binary dialog, tabs in the Properties dialog, the links list in the Edit Favorite dialog.
The grayscale icons that Registry Finder uses by default are not good with the dark theme. I recommend to use custom toolbar icons.
If you notice other incompleteness or issues, don't hesitate to contact me.

Windows Explorer Integration

To facilitate importing .reg files with Registry Finder you can add a command to Windows Explorer's context menu for .reg files.

To do so, just execute the ContextMenu-Add.bat file. To remove the command, execute the ContextMenu-Remove.bat file.

Also, you can make Registry Finder, instead of regedit, to perform import when you double-click a .reg file: execute RegFileAssoc-Add.bat. RegFileAssoc-Remove.bat restores import with regedit.

Note. You must execute files with administrator rights, otherwise you'll get the Access denied error.

Replacing Windows Registry Editor

As of version 2.51, Registry Finder can replace Windows' built-in registry editor (regedit). Select the File | Replace Windows Registry Editor menu to have Registry Finder execute instead of regedit when you launch regedit.
Replacig regedit is equivalent to the following command:

reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\regedit.exe" /v "Debugger" /t REG_SZ /d "\"REGISTRY_FINDER_DIR\RegistryFinder.exe\" -z" /f

Note. This is a global setting that affects all users regardless of how they start regedit (for example, through a command line, the Run dialog or by double clicking a .reg file). If you are using Registry Finder in portable mode, make sure that the folder where Registry Finder resides is accessible to any user. Make sure you revert the changes before deleting Registry Finder, otherwise regedit cannot be started. In normal mode, uninstaller will revert the changes for you.

If you replaced regedit and want to launch regedit, not Registry Finder, you can do it with the --regedit command line argument:

RegistryFinder --regedit

Running from Write-protected Media

In some use cases the folder where Registry Finder stores its settings and undo history is not accessible for write. The most evident is running from a write-protected USB stick.

In that case, Registry Finder is fully functional except that the undo history and application settings are not saved (so called No-Save mode). On startup, appropriate message is shown and the status bar contains a yellow triangle sign.

The pop-up message can be suppressed by manually editing the RegistryFinder.config file. Add the following line at the end of the file:

<WarnStoreReadOnly>false</WarnStoreReadOnly>
