Regedix

Those who like tampering with their registry have Windows' built-in Registry Editor utility to count on. If you routinely happen to go into your registry to modify a few values and strings, the lack of some quality-of-life features might make work harder than it needs to be.

That's why third-party tools exist as viable alternatives, even when it comes to managing your machine's registry. Regedix seems quite similar to the original, but it provides a series of visual enhancements, a tab-based design, and some nice-to-have additions, so that handling your registry becomes an easier task.

A lot will feel familiar here, and that's because this alternative doesn't stray too far from the tree. This still feels very much like Windows' Registry Editor, but with a few improvements to make it more convenient to use.

The tab-based design is a change most users will notice at the jump. This enables you to work on more than one thing at a time, and get work done faster. You can thus organize your workflows more efficiently, which is further aided by the Favorites function, which affords one the possibility of keeping track of the registry values and keys of note.

The Explorer-style path bar, as well as the forward and back buttons, seem like wasted opportunities on the original, as they're not included. This program features those functions, as well as a History of sorts, where users can go back to where they previously were.

Searching has also received its fair share of improvements. Besides being able to look for the usual keys, values, and data, users are also able to choose the specific types of data they wish to access. You can opt to have your search be case-sensitive, as well as match the whole string only, for more efficient and accurate results. Date ranges can also be implemented here, which can further help one narrow down their searches.

Regedix offers some functions that should have been there on the original. Seeing as they're not, this is an alternative that's well worth your attention, particularly if you tamper with your Windows Registry on the regular.
