TuneUp Registry Editor
The Windows registry is nothing more than a large central
database. Every hardware component and program that is
installed makes entries in this database. With time, the
registry gets increasingly larger and more chaotic.
True experts who are looking for a suitable tool to delve deep
into the Windows system and to adapt their configuration
manually should use TuneUp Registry Editor. It not only
offers an extremely fast search function, allows you to create
any number of bookmarks and lets you go to any key via copy
and paste, it also offers the protection of TuneUp
RescueCenter, which means that you can undo your changes
at any time.
The advantages of
TuneUp Registry
Editor
Usage
The registry is opened as soon as you start the module. The
registry database consists of countless keys that are divided
into different categories. The editor displays the structure of
the registry in the form of a tree, with the individual keys on
the left side of the window under Folder. Double click a key
to display its subkeys. When you reach the lowest level of the
hierarchy, the individual values will be displayed on the right
half of the window, where you can edit them.
When you click a value with your right mouse button, a
context menu opens with a number of different commands.
Delete removes the entry from the registry. Rename lets you
assign a new name to the key, and Change lets you change
the value of the entry.
When you right click a key, the context menu that is
displayed has a much larger selection of commands. One of
the most useful commands here is Search, which allows you
to look for words in the entire registry. Set bookmark lets
you place a virtual bookmark. These bookmarks are shown in
the lower third of the window under Bookmark, and you can
go to any of these locations by double clicking the
corresponding bookmark.
