Main Features

TFMReg is a registry editor designed to make the small amount of time you spend working in the registry as painless as possible.  To This end it has a number of features to make you life easier.

RegEdit Feel

It looks and feels very similar to the main registry editor in windows RegEdit, so you can get started staightaway.

Multiple Windows

It provides multiple windows so you can work with each HKEY in the registry in a seperate window or in one, you choose.  Each Favorites file that you open starts a new window so you see only the values your interested in.

Full Search

Unlike RegEdit which when searching stops on each found item, TFMReg produces a registry tree structure of each found item marked with icons so you can see exactly what keys, values and data has been found by the search mechanism.  You can work with matches while the search continues.  You can also choose which Registry Hives to search through, and specify a number of other options.  Click Find on the search menu.

Favorites

TFMReg also provides the facility to have multi key favorites.  You specify a name for the favorites and then add keys as you like.  Need to keep all the disparate set of keys you use when developing your software in one place, make a favorites file and add them.  Then rather than having to navigate down to each one, just select the favorite and they all open in one window.  A huge time saver.

Power Features

Do you often want to check what program is associated with a particular file extension? Just Navigate to the file extension under HKCR right click on the key and select Show File Extension and you'll jump straight to it.

Ever look up a registry key and find a folder or filename, and then have to open up windows explorer and navigate to it?  Just find the key, right click and choose Show File or Show Folder and it will open.
