Office XP is about to gain its freedom into the computing world, and without a spot of research and planning, you may miss out on some of the latest wheels, switches and relays that have been built into the new application suite. It's easier to understand than burying your face in a book or stack of whitepapers, and nothing beats kicking back in your chair with a pair of headphones and a bag of microwave popcorn, all the while getting paid to watch what some consider to be entertainment. If you need to search the Windows Registry, Registry Detective can make the job a lot easier. Registry Detective, a read-only registry search facility that works in conjunction with RegEdit, provides an alternative. You can specify multiple search criteria, search only specific portions of the registry, view all hits at once, examine detailed information for each hit, and then launch RegEdit with the hit selected so you can make changes.
Source code is included.
The System Registry holds a huge amount of essential information and settings. However, many settings only can be accessed through RegEdit, the powerful and dangerous Window Registry Editor. Changes made using RegEdit can cause far-reaching problems. Also, it's tedious to open a lengthy key in RegEdit, as you must painstakingly locate and click on every element of that key. To open a key in one step, type its name into the key list, or select it from the pull down list of recently visited keys.
