Free alternative to Windows' registry viewer
Total Registry is a utility application by Pavel Yosifovich. This tool works as an alternative to Windows' registry viewer and explorer. It is a multi-featured Registry editor that you can use for free and offline.
Total Registry provides improved features over the built-in Windows Regedit.exe. If you work within the Registry and want more functionality, it can help you make a more efficient experience. It also has no installation required and reveals the complete registry in a user-friendly manner. Although, you should only deal with your registry if you know what you're doing. Otherwise, you will render your PC unusable.
View, sort, and manage your registry keys
Windows comes with a built-in registry editor. If you are an experienced user, you can use it to checkout key values and make modifications. And although most users see the Windows Regedit as more than enough, others are looking for particular features or functions. Total Registry is an alternative that is designed having that in mind. Even better, it is an installation-free application.
As mentioned, it allows you to browse keys in the standard Windows registry. It also provides permissions and management options and exporting and importing capabilities like a regular registry editor. It displays the keys in a tree view and organizes them on a table containing the name, the type, the size, and the date of the last modification. With this, you can see all information in one window.
You can also sort your keys by any column with a simple click. Total Registry features an icon for hives and displays inaccessible keys and links. It lets you copy keys and values to the clipboard and even undo and redo your actions. The app also comes with a hex editor and searching capabilities. Although, as noted, ensure you have working knowledge as mistakes can render your PC unusable.
Reliable alternative to standard Regedit
All in all, Total Registry is a good alternative to the integrated registry editor for Windows. The app offers a few more functions than the standard Regedit. It also displays the complete registry in a user-friendly, albeit outdated, interface. Although, if you are not an experienced user, be sure to create a backup and a Windows restore point before using this app.
