I downloaded an application but I forgot the name; run the application and it will open to the registry key using the contents of the clipboard; anyone ?

Thanks for the review of RegistrarLite, definitely going to check it out.

Another good registry editor I've used is RegMagiK. You can find the last freeware version here.

Still works in Vista/Win7. Always found it easier to navigate and quickly access various registry locations. As with many of these types of programs, if you have UAC active you will need to launch as administrator to edit non user registry items.

No one has answered the question of whether there are tools that can deal with regitry files that are on an offline hard drive and are not the active registry.
If I could simply read the old registry and create a export of it, then I could import that to the new active hard drive.

Any ideas out there for this situation?

the best!!!!

I've used a combination of RegSeeker, Regalyzer, and RegScanner, for my Registry needs because these apps are portable. With RegEditX going commercial in October 2010, I don't see the need to pay for an app when there are some pretty good 'free' ones out there. I may even look at RRM again, since it too has a portable version.

very useful site

Registrar Registry Manager Lite can't open reg file.(only professional version can)
Anyone know reg file editable freeware? I can't find..

Do any of these programs mentioned above work on an externally connected hard drive (eg. remote access to a non-active registry)?

Is there any freeware that tracks changes to the registry as I edit it.
(Only changes that I make)

Thanks in advance

I just use Windows Regedit, but instead of using the slow Regedit search function, I use Nirsoft Regscanner available at http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/regscanner.html

Nirsoft Regscanner finds all registry keys with a given text string pretty as quickly as any of the fast 3rd party registry editors, but it is only a 50k download, or 70k if you need the 64 bit version. It also gives the option of exporting one or all of the registry keys found, as well as opening any of them directly in Regedit.

I use the free version of Aezay Registry commander ver 1.04 and think it is a better product. This opinion applies to the trial version. After reading, the warranty that accompanies Resplendence software “We don't promise” I quit the install and deleted the product. The method chosen by Resplendence forces product beta testing of their software and is quite troubling in my opinion. Only by submitting a bug report would you receive help that is if the fix is in a maintenance release. If a major release fixes your problem, you must repurchase the product. Finally, and I quote “We don't promise that the Program will be free of bugs or program errors.”

I simply ask what am I paying for if this is what is stated from the beginning. No promises, forced beta testing, and certainly no dedication or commitment in their products.

The problem with Registrar Lite is that it won't let you set permissions, that's in PRO version only, kinda goes against what THIS particular website is awesome for- Gizmos FREEWARE. In my case, Regedit won't run due to a Virus/Trojen. I download Registrar Lite only to find I can't delete the trojans Keys that way either. I'll be looking into alternatives and post what I find for other Trojan infected users here.
