>There are several tools out there that make searching the registry much faster and easier than using regedit directly (if that's what you were doing). Here's a short list, in no particular order:
>
>Registry Crawler - http://www.4developers.com/regc/index.htm
>
>Registry Toolkit - http://www.funduc.com/registry_toolkit.htm
>
>Registry Detective - http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,9878,00.asp
>
>The last one is a PC Magazine utility; it used to be free but now, sadly, a paid subscription to their download service is required to get any of their utilities (I think you get a discount if you're a magazine subscriber, though). To be fair, the other two are not free, either, but they're all pretty reasonably priced and they all make your life a whole lot easier when searching the registry.

Thanks, I'll consider those the next time.

Today, as it was so slow, I hit some keys by mistake and corrupted my entire drive. So, I have a lot of work to do to repair and fix all that tomorrow.
