Hello,

I'm new to 2008 server. I'm searching through my registry using regedit
but when it goes into registry folder e.g. hklm\software\microsoft - it
doesn't highlight microsoft in the left pane of regedit so it can be hard to
track down what fold you are in if you are many layers deep other than
looking at the bottom and then tracking down where that folder is.

Is there a new registry editor I need to use that includes the highlight
function for the open folder?


Thanks
 
Hello boe,

If you look at the bottom of the regedit window, you can read the full path
where you are. But i agree that the color underlined folder was a good option.

Best regards

Thanks - that is what I'm talking about - I have to look at the bottom and
then search for it in the left hand pain in the a. It used to highlight
the folder that you were in on the left hand side while you worked in the
right hand pane. Anyone know of a new command that replaces regedit that
keeps the better functionality of the old regedit?
