O&O RegEditor 12.0.2172

O&O RegEditor is a user-friendly software that simplifies working with the registry database for both home-users and administrators. One of the standout features of this software is its portability - no installation is required, and all settings are saved in the Profile data, allowing easy use on other computers. Additionally, it comes in 32 and 64-bit versions, allowing for editing of registry entries that are normally hidden from 32-bit users.

The software boasts a range of convenient features, including a search function that displays results in a list, copy and paste functionality for entire keys, subkeys, and their values, and simplified editing. Users can also create, manage, import, and export favorites, and frequently used keys can be preset as favorites. O&O RegEditor also supports the import and export of REG files, and the entire registry can be exported in XML format.

Compared to the standard Windows RegEdit, O&O RegEditor offers all the standard features, but with optimized accessibility and user-friendliness. For example, a high-precision search yields a list of results with corresponding key paths, and searches can be performed without having to confirm every interim result. Users can also copy paths from websites or manuals into the address line, and a history of all visited paths is saved, allowing for quick and easy navigation between different keys. The ability to copy and paste complete registry keys and subkeys is also a helpful feature when testing settings and saving old settings for later restoration.

O&O RegEditor is also a component of O&O BlueCon, a comprehensive tool pack for administrators that enables system restorations and images under Windows. It can be started directly from a USB or CD/DVD with a full Windows user interface for when a system needs rescuing.

In summary, O&O RegEditor is an excellent software that makes working with the registry database significantly easier. Its portability, user-friendliness, and convenient features make it a valuable tool for both home-users and administrators alike.
