RegMagiK Registry Editor

RegMagiK Registry Editor is an interesting application in terms of the way it offers its functionality. With the added portability perk, this program could be seen as a portable registry editor. It carries all the perks of the original Windows application, all while being easy to carry on an external drive. Thus this application shouldn't be missing from any user's emergency toolbox. Although the interface might be a tad old, the app functions without any issues.

Due to its shared similarity with Microsoft's own Registry Editor, this application will feel very familiar. Functions are generally the same, although some actions are better labeled and seem more accessible. Regardless, your main task will be to use it in order to repair or fix the registry, a dangerous job by all means. The app's main window is split into two. On the left, the user will see a general tree view of all registry files. On the right, one gets to preview all existing files within a selected folder.

You can directly skip to a certain key, provided you know how to search for it. A key combo can be used to launch most of these actions and commands. Another interesting feature is the ability to search for an item name or data on the web. This allows one to immediately find out if there are some loose strings in the registry and what their purpose is or was, depending on the situation. New strings and keys can be created exactly in the same way you would do that on your Windows Registry Editor.

RegMagiK Registry Editor is a great alternative to Microsoft's Windows-included Registry Editor because it is above all portable. It also includes some extra features which might come in handy in situations where you need more information and guidance.
