Registry Commander, Advanced Windows Registry Editor
Most Windows users make use of the built-in Registry editor when they need to change settings in it. The Registry editor does have a few shortcomings that only become obvious on second glance. Users who just use it to change a single key that they know the path of won’t see those, administrators and tech savvy users on the other hand might.
The search for instance is not really that usable as it offers barely any search options. It lacks for example options to find only specific data types or sizes.
Registry Commander is an advanced Windows Registry editor that uses a completely different layout than the default editor. That’s a problem as it means that users need to get used to the new layout first before they can make full use of the editor.
The biggest difference is the folder view of Registry Commander. It displays the Registry hive at the top and its folders in a Windows Explorer like mode.
Each folder is listed with its name and value which includes the number of subkeys and values. A double-click displays the new keys and values in the interface. It is possible to change the hive with a right-click on the path at the top. The application can connect to remote Registry hives as well.
The search is one of the strengths of the portable application.Another interesting feature is the ability to set bookmarks which can then be accessed directly whenever the program is opened. Handy for users who often work with the same set of Registry keys.
Registry Commander is a handy portable software designed for users who need more control over the Windows Registry. The software is available for download at the developer ! website. It is compatible with 32-bit and 64-bit editions of the Microsoft Windows operating system.
It offers to search the entire Registry or only part of it. Filters are available to only display data that matches specific parameters defined by the user.
