I added a bookmarks feature. This registry editor provides access to all hidden keys. For example, exporting the system to a .reg file generates a complete snapshot — it does not omit any keys except volatile ones, unlike Microsoft’s Registry Editor.
Thank you wesmar, very nice. Especially like dual tabs for quick comparison. One question though, the UI seems to be of Windows 2000 era, is it possible to make it more like Win 10 ? Do we get an option for that ?
View->split function is phenomenal, why didn't somebody else ever thought about that. It goes to show how much attention to detail has been put into this project. Now Only if it can have newer Win 10 icons and UI.
@wesmar, where does program save the favorites ? I would like to back/restore for repeated installations.
Code: HCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Regedit\Favorites I will create a modern menu. I used the old one from the Windows XP / ReactOS era, but I need to extract new icons using IconExt from NirSoft’s suite, and that should work. For now, I’m refining the F2 rename functionality and searching for regressions. I’ll be providing updates from time to time.
Thanks, you're the best. One very special request, will it be possible to add a search and replace / replace all function for values in the keys ? That'll be extremely helpful and will the first such tool to implement this.
@wesmar, Thanks bud, you're the best. Also, very exited to have that monitoring capability to reverse engineer Windows internals. Dependability on 3rd party tools isn't reliable to map the deltas between event 1 and event 2.
I like the 2 sided view, like Total Commander, maybe some of the same hot keys. Features I would like to see: 1. a snapshot repository (maybe with computer name date and time) with a comparison to see "what changed" when you install a grogram or change windows settings. 2. a saved snippet repository with descriptions. 3. export to reg file or bat file, and to be portable for multiple pc support. Thank you for a nice tool. I look forward to seeing this mature.
A lot of development time went into two areas: 1) vector icon/resource pipeline (consistent rendering, scaling behavior, and fallback handling), and 2) full hive backup/restore implementation, especially context transitions (TrustedInstaller -> user), path mapping, and restore scheduling logic. The remaining item to finalize is BCD00000000 -> BCD restore mapping. I will finish this carefully rather than rushing it, since real-world setups are still mixed (Legacy BIOS and UEFI). Next iterations will focus on: - expanding Find/Replace workflows, - improving Live Monitor with optional persistent log output, - and extending comparison functionality with additional diff views. I’m keeping the implementation practical and test-driven, so each step is stable before adding more features.
