Ed Bott’s Microsoft Challenge–7/13/2000

Over the past few months, I’ve been soliciting your help replacing pieces of Windows that, for one reason or another, aren’t up to the demands of power users. This week, the target is the Windows Registry Editor. For some reason, Microsoft ships twoof them with Windows 2000, Regedit and Regedt32. Either one gets the job done, but both run out of gas quickly–for example, you can’t do search-and-replace operations, nor can you undo changes. Surely there’s a better way. If you’ve got a favorite Regedit replacement, tell me (and your fellow TechRepublic members) about it. Be sure to include the key features that make your alternative better than the default, and don’t forget to provide a Web link for more information.
