"AVOID THIS PRODUCT-"

andreaborman April 30, 2011 / Version: Registry Explorer 1.4

2011-04-30 09:51:56 | By andreaborman

Pros

None, because this product replaces the registry in Windows. So if you use this you could mess up your operating system.

Cons

Everything removes the registry and will mess up Windows. AVOID THIS.

Summary

I tried this on my friends old computer it has Windows 7. But it corrupted the registry. This product replaces the registry in all versions of Windows,that is in Windows XP,Windows Vista Windows 7 and older versions Windows 2000,98 and 95. But you CANNOT delete the registry as it is part of the Windows operating system. So you cannot copy the registry with another software,delete the original registry and still have Windows work,no. As it proved with my friends computer in which Windows had to be reinstalled again. You registry comes with your Windows operating system and is part of it. So You should NEVER alter or delete any registry keys or replace the registry like this product does. Or you will have a lot of problems. I do not understand why these third party products can be allowed to do this.That is take out the original registry and totally replace it. It cannot be done on Windows. And as the registry is part of Windows. Who knows better,Windows or a third party software? My advice is STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRODUCT and other products like this.Because YOU CANNOT replace your registry in any versions of Windows and still have Windows work. The regisrty plays a very important part in your Windows operating system. Without it Windows is will not work. So my advice is to STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRODUCT AND OTHERS LIKE IT> Or you will break your Windows operating system. Andrea Borman.

"Nice concept, bad implementation, cannot remove it"

squeezix December 17, 2010 / Version: Registry Explorer 1.4

2010-12-17 10:33:12 | By squeezix

Pros

Installed fine; registry immediately appeared in Windows Explorer.

Cons

Tried to do a search. Not pleasant.
Tried to do a bookmark. Failed.
Tried to uninstall. CAN'T DO IT.

AVOID!

Summary

Tried to do a search. Search feedback was very strange (vigourously flickering status string, followed by long pauses of nothing, all with CPU pegged.) In the end, failed to find the string that I knew was there.

Tried to do a bookmark of "Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/etc. But the application (and Windows Explorer, since it's integrated into Explorer) froze. Killed the Windows Explorer process and tried again. Got a bookmark named "Registry". Not very helpful.

Got tired of it at this point. Tried to uninstall. CAN'T DO IT. There is no "uninstall" link, and the program DOES NOT APPEAR in Add/Remove Programs. Presently trying to get rid of it by doing a System Restore.

AVOID!

"Looks good but froze my comp"

March 25, 2004 / Version: Registry Explorer 1.4

2004-03-25 23:25:56

Summary

Like another poster, it froze my XP (2.0 GHz cpu). It ran very smoothly, but when I tried searching, it froze my comp twice. Hopefully the developers can fix this--it looks very promising.

"Surely handy"

October 10, 2002 / Version: Registry Explorer 1.4

2002-10-10 19:47:45

Summary

Indeed handy, yes.. Instead of firing up any other app than the one probably most used and therefore probably open anyway, Registry Explorer adds more walue to the name Windows Explorer.
