I know there is a key in the registry that causes it to open each time at
the last key that was viewed. I want to change it, so each time I open it,
it is fully collapsed. Would someone please tell me what key it is?

Thanks In Advance

Yes, I have seen that before, but it is not a permanent fix, you have to use
it over and over. I want to know the edit that makes it permanent. Thanks
though.

Hi

Clear the LastKey value under
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Regedit
and then remove the permissions to write to the key path above.

This is the nearest solution. I have the script in my Quick Launch and use
it everytime when launching the Registry Editor. You can deny write
permission for that key as Torgeir said. The reason why I did not recommend
is that there might be a small delay when closing Regedit everytime in some
systems. Not a big deal though.
