Registry editor

Hi Ruben,

Changes made using the Registry Editor can greatly affect how your system works. Should you wish to undo those changes, we suggest that you restore your system to an earlier state. To do this, simply follow the steps in this

article.

You can also find this
article useful for backing up your files before making changes with your registry.

Should you have further questions, please let us know.

 

Search in Registry Editor (REGEDIT) slows the PC to where it almost stops

You are right, searching the registry should not slow down your system for other work. But the built in search in Win registry editor is really slow.

I've found that NirSoft Regscanner tool is much better, much faster than MS search:

Search Registry tool for Windows

I've used various nirsoft tools for many year and do trust them.
