Regedit will do exactly what the user wants, one entry at a time. It is a perfectly valid answer. That it is less CONVENIENT than a third-party tool does not make it less correct. -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Oct. 2002 - Sept. 2009 A+ http://dts-l.net/

Until John pipes back in and states he never knew regedit existed, I'm sticking with my recommendation. You see MVP's badmouthing tools like I suggest but then lamely suggest regedit. And like I said to another replier, using regedit is good IF you're getting paid by the hour and your client doesn't realize you're using something that takes um-teen times longer than a tool I suggested. I'm pretty confident the OP knows of regedit and was looking for a "tool" (like the subject states) that searched the entire registry at once AND displayed the results for ALL. And you forgot to close your tag. Bad coding... Terry R. -- Anti-spam measures are included in my email address. Delete NOSPAM from the email address after clicking Reply. |
