Registry Commander This application is an alternative to the registry editor that comes with Windows. It offers most of the same features, plus a little more. The main difference between Registry Commander and RegEdit, is how the registry data is visually shown. Instead of having all keys to the left side in a tree, they are displayed in the same window, as if they were normal file folders. Main Features - Copy or Rename/Move entire keys and values from one key to another. - Cut or Copy keys and values from one place and paste them into another. - A column that displays the size in bytes of a value's data. - Supports all 12 data types, defined in the "winnt.h" header file. Most other registry editors only handles Strings, Binary, DWord, Expanded Strings and sometimes also MultiString. - Allows you to bookmark keys or values so you can access them more quickly. Comments can be associated with each bookmark. - Search part of or the entire registry database, not only can you search by a keyword, but you can also search by size or data type. - Change a value's data type. I.e. you can change a string into a binary value, without changing the content of the data. - Ability to interpret one value for another, without modifying the data. This would allow you to view a string saved as a binary value or vice versa. - With the reg:// protocol, you can create links to a specific key in the registry, it works the same way as http:// does. - A history list has been added, to allow a quick jump from current key to a previously key. History of Registry Commander Registry Commander was created to make editing the registry easier, compared to the Windows registry editor "RegEdit". Although there was already a few alternatives, I didn't much care for any of them, as neither really changed on the concept, they all had the left side tree window with keys and a window to the right with values. Registry Commander changes all of this, by treating keys as folders, putting both the keys and values in the same window, and thus discarding the key tree to the left. Many features of this program has been inspired by the file manager "Total Commander" (www.totalcmd.com), which also is the reason I named it "Registry Commander". Registry Commander Changes | 2012 Jan 24 - Completely redesigned the search dialog. Each category now has a colored header. Black headers mean this search type is disabled, red headers mean invalid parameters, and green means valid parameters. - When doing a search, the option to scan a data's value for the specified keyword, is now disabled by default. This was to reduce the search time, as this feature about doubles the time a search takes. - Search result bookmarks are now updated in the list as they are found. - Rewrote the registry export function, it is not only much faster, but it also allows for multiple keys to be exported at once. - The main menu now has a "Bookmarks" menu item. All relevant menu items have been moved to here. - The feature to export the entire registry database has been added under the Main menu item. This will export HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and HKEY_USERS. - Removed the Key Tree, as I'm not happy with its implementation. One day it may return, but in that case, it will be as a docked list in the main window. - If you're holding down shift, while entering/double-clicking a key, it will start up a new session of Registry Commander from that key. - Reverse sorting added. Click twice on a listview column header to toggle reverse sorting. - The options menu now has the menu item "Toggle 64-bit Mode". - Better error exceptions for when doing actions in places with no write access. - The value data edit dialog can now be resized. - The default formatting for an unknown data type is now the same as for the "None" type, instead of just being "%h", which couldn't be configured. - Fixed: If focus was lost during an item rename, no rename was actually done (as fixed in last release), but it would still have the visual bug of changing the caption of the listview item. - The search filter for data type will no longer incorrectly match those rare types with a high ID above REG_QWORD (11). - It is now possible to change the data type of more than one value at a time.
