RegWorks features

RegWorks is the complete registry management solution.

RegWorks - Registry Editor


RegWorks software can be used as a quality replacement of the standard regedit program. The software provides additional valuable features:
  • Registry backup and restore.
  • Undo history.
    Any modifications made to the registry with RegWorks, can be undone.
  • Key comparison.
    For any two keys of the registry, the program can find distinctions in the keys, and values within those keys. For example, having compared some key and its copy stored on a hard drive, the program can find out: which keys or values have been removed or added, and which key values have been changed.
  • Search.
    The search procedure is performed in a separate window and does not pause the program's execution.
  • Search and replace.
    Search and replace is available in both manual and automatic modes.
  • Loading and Unloading Key.
    Loading and unloading keys allows connecting the key files to the registry and disconnecting keys that are currently in use. For example, the program can compare a key to its previously saved copy. In order to do that, user needs to simply connect the previously saved key and use the comparison function. Please note: this function does'nt make any irreversible changes in the registry; the loaded key can be unloaded back at any moment.
  • Editing Key Permissions.
    In the NT family of operating systems (starting with Win2k) RegWorks allows editing keys' permissions.
  • Using the Favorites.
    The Favorites may contain both the keys and the values. User may add comments for both the keys and the values.
  • Viewing reg-files During Import.
    For importing reg-files the program opens a new viewer window with capabilities for editing the contents.
  • Exporting Selective Values.
    The program allows exporting both the entire key and its selective values.
  • Clipboard.
    A key or its values can be copied or cut to clipboard and later inserted into another key.
  • Quick Jump box to jump to a specified registry key.
  • Read-only mode.
  • Multiple-window interface.
    The program's window may contain a number of tabs: the editor, the monitor, and the Favorites. By default, the program shows only the editor window. The program's window is split into two parts: the keys tree (which can be collapsed or expanded) and the list of windows (which initially displays only the key values editor). When user starts a registry search for matches in a key or value, the program opens a new window and adds it to the window list. Using "hot" keys user can quickly switch between both the tabs and the windows the registry editor.

RegWorks Tweaks


With RegWorks you can create and use aliases to registry keys called tweaks. With tweaks you can easily modify operating system parameters hidden in registry. RegWorks allows:
  • Adding, modifying and deleting tweaks.
  • Adding and deleting tweak categories.
  • Moving and copying / pasting tweaks from one category to another.
  • Exporting and importing tweaks.
  • Searching tweaks by miscellaneous criterions.
  • Creating backup file with original keys data.

RegWorks Registry Monitor


In the NT-based operating systems, RegWorks can make an alternative for the standard RegMon program. The built-in registry monitor allows:
  • Configuring flexible filter rules.
    Using filters you can monitor selectively only the read or the write operations; monitor all processes at once or just one selected process. You can even monitor a single key or value using filters.
  • Configuring the log highlighting rules.
    Based on some tag or a group of tags you can configure the background color for a column or a line in the monitor's log.
  • Exporting the monitoring results into text-only or XML files.
    The monitoring results can be saved not only as text files but as XML files also. Using the XSLT, an XML file can be converted into file of any other format.
  • Viewing the monitor log's contents in a web browser.
    The HTML page of the log file is generated by the XSLT, which is configured in the program's settings.

System Requirements:

Windows 98/ME/NT4/2K/XP. The registry monitor is accessible only under the NT4/2K/XP operating systems; registry backup and restore, key permissions - under the 2K/XP operating systems. Tweaker requires Windows NT4/2K/XP.
