Free Registry Editor

Free Registry Editor is a lightweight and easy to work with piece of software whose main function resides in helping you browse, manage, change and backup your system registry, also allowing you to compare hive files.

Well-structured and accessible appearance

The program presents a tabbed interface, enabling you to easily switch between its main sections and use the components that you need. Being so neatly organized makes it simple to handle, even by the less advanced.
As such, you can browse through the ‘Registry Editor’ and view the numerous entries that make it up, ‘Search’ for a specific string, or add items to your ‘Bookmarks’, to locate them faster, when necessary. Similarly, you can ‘Backup and Restore’ your registry or you can compare hive files in the ‘Registry Diff’ section.

Effortlessly manage, alter and create copies of your system registry

In the ‘Registry Editor’ tab of the application, you can view and modify existing items, as well as create new keys and values (string, binary, DWORD, multi-string or expandable string values). Selected entries can be exported to REG format files.
Should you need to identify the location of a registry key, you can resort to the ‘Search’ section and input your keyword, then select the targeted hive. Both from the ‘Registry Editor’ and the ‘Search’ tab you can add items to your ‘Bookmarks’ using the corresponding ribbon button. This way, you can find them right away, should you have to work with them again.
Moreover, with the help of the ‘Backup and Restore’ component of the tool, you can create copies of your registry, being able to easily reinstate them, should something happen to the original. In the ‘Registry Diff’ tab, you can compare two hive files and determine which items were deleted, added, changed or left untouched.

A handy registry manipulating application

To sum it up, Free Registry Editor is a useful and practical utility that can assist you in copying, modifying, exporting, backing up and restoring your registry with just a few mouse clicks.
