Regalyzer Advanced Registry Editor

One could say that Regalyzer starts there where the default Windows Registry editor and Regscanner stop. Don’t get me wrong, Regscanner is a great program but it has one great weakness and that is the fact that you cannot edit the Registry in the software directly but have to rely on Regedit to edit the entries that you have found with Regscanner. Regalyzer on the other hand provides the advanced search capabilities of Regscanner with the option to edit Registry keys directly.

The main window of Regalyzer resembles that of Regedit but you will notice the bar at the top that contains the search and a history function that displays the Registry keys that have been used lately. It also offers a way of pasting a Registry key into it to jump directly to that key, very handy if you quickly want to change a setting and have the full key at hand.

The search is independent from the main program and opens up in a new window. It displays the result just like Regscanner does which means that all search results are displayed immediately and you are not forced to jump from result to result like in Regedit. Four Search Styles are available: Simple Search, Wildcard Search, Boolean Search and Regular Expressions.

You can also limit the search to specific range, certain data types and several other options. There is also a find and replace feature build in. Once you have selected a key you will notice the additional tabs that contain Security Information, Additional Information and a Change Log besides the default display of the values of that key.
