Need to change a few strings in the Registry (ohhh, scary) and I'd like to
know a good freeware program for a normally non-changer of registry entries.
Thanks.

Registry Robot can gently change some common system settings, X-Setup gets
more in depth.

Google them.

And quit being so scared. It'll give you wrinkles.

Registry Robot also is owned by PC MAG, and they now charge to a
subscription fee to be able to download. I do not consider that as
freeware. To me that's like the tv commercial that states you can have
this item Free. Just send $6.95 for shipping and handling. Doesn't free
mean free? No cost. Nothing. Here it is sir/madam enjoy your product.

RegMagik. I launch it about 20 times a day. I expect that your changes will
often be based on some doc you're referencing while you do the edits; in such
a case, just copy the path to the targeted key to your clipboard. Then hit
CTRL-G in Regmagik, and it will take you to the key directly, ready to edit.
Export that key first, if you have any doubts, before edit. One difference
with RegMagik is that the view of the registry data is not crowded up as with
other registry editors; it only expands in a session those particular keys
you're accessing. Makes things fast and simple, without distractions.

Hi Karen:
An install, but maybe worth it!

I'm about 99.5% certain the installer is not needed. In fact, it adds several
stupid things, which I have to clean up after I've run it.

When you instead run the Regmagik program itself, apart from the installer,
it creates those keys it wants: its user settings section, and then a pair
for its filetype (.sr2).

If you're interested, I could see about uploading to websapace, for you to
download, a clean zip sans installer...?

The prog is comprised of only two small files: a 160k exe + 23k dat.
I'm convinced it runs out of the box with those two. The zip total
is 70k.

.. . .

The author did not include a help file. Yet it's not really needed. Other
than separately calling forth access to an addressbar (by menu or icon or
keypress), everything works as you expect.
