RegScanner 1.64

CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

Powerful tools for scanning and editing the Windows Registry make this freeware utility a solid alternative to Regedit. To get started, choose a base key from the drop-down menu, enter a search string, and specify whether the program should find matching values, data, keys, or any combination of the three. A date-range function lets you narrow your search even further. The interface looks dull, but it's pretty self-explanatory if you know what you're doing. After running your query, RegScanner lets you save the results as a text file or export them directly to the Registry. Unfortunately, you can't save your search parameters, nor will you find in-depth help files or a tool for backing up the Registry. Overall, RegScanner is best suited for advanced users accustomed to editing the Registry by hand.

Publisher's description

From NirSoft Freeware :

RegScanner is a small utility that allows you to scan the Registry, find the desired Registry values that match to the specified search criteria, and display them in one list. After finding the Registry values, you can easily jump to the right value in RegEdit, simply by double-clicking the desired Registry item. You can also export the found Registry values into a .reg file that can be used in RegEdit.

Version 1.64 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.
