OfflineRegistryFinder

As its name accurately states, OfflineRegistryFinder is a specialized piece of software that makes it as simple as possible for you to find keys, values, and other types of data from any external drive.

Not only this, but this nifty little utility can also be employed to help you scan your computer's OS for registry files. To do this, you are required to first create a registry snapshot since scanning and locating data within a snapshot is generally faster than scanning the registry of an active system.

The principal benefit that this app brings is the fact that it allows you to select any of results and export them to a .reg files which, of course, can be imported and used later in the built-in RegEdit tool.

To make things even better, it's also incredibly easy to get along with. For starters, it does not require installation or any type of third-party components to work on all versions of Windows above XP.

Simply download the archive, unzip it, and run the application via its designated executable file. Before we dive a bit deeper, please note that you should consider providing the application with full administrative rights, especially if you want to create a registry snapshot.

That said, things are quite straightforward from here onwards: just select the folder that contains the registry files from the Registry Search Options, and optionally use the Automatic Fill button to make the job easier, choose the search criteria from the bottom part of the window and click the Ok button to start the search.

Creating registry snapshots takes almost the same amount of effort, as you only need to access the feature from the File menu, select the folder where you want to save the snapshot and all registry hives.

All things considered, OfflineRegistryFinder is an efficient utility that delivers instant results without forcing you to go through complicated procedures in order to locate and handle registry files from both external and local drives.
