If you are a Windows administrator or power user, then you have likely made changes to the Registry at one point using Windows built-in Registry Editor (regedit.exe) to fix a bug or tweak a configuration setting

However, Microsoft has not made many changes to the Registry Editor over the years to modernize the application, and many useful features are missing that people may want

Last weekend, Windows Internals expert Pavel Yosifovich released a program called Registry Explorer that aims to modernize the registry editor with a slew of new features

After running Registry Explorer, you will be greeted with a view of all the Registry hives, which users can expand to see their subkeys and values just like the standard Windows Registry editor

Making the wrong change to the Registry could cause Windows not to operate correctly, Registry Explorer starts in a 'Read Only Mode' that prevents you from making changes until the mode is turned off

A full list of features in Registry Explorer are listed below:

Even better, if you find you really like Registry Explorer, you can configure it to automatically replace the Windows Registry editor and be the default file handler for .reg file

If you find yourself constantly editing the Windows Registry, searching for values, or exporting your configuration to .reg files, then I strongly suggest you give Registry Explorer a try as you will likely find many of the features very useful

The biggest drawback to Registry Workshop is that unlike Registry Explorer, it's not free; it costs $30
