Registry Scan Tool

Registry Scan Tool is a simple-to-use yet powerful software program that lets you locate a particular key in the Windows Registry.

Given the sensitive nature of this area of the operating system, only users who know what they are doing should fiddle with this tool.

The app is wrapped in a clean and intuitive interface with a well-organized layout. Some useful information regarding program use is displayed on the left side of the window.

All you have to do is enter a keyword (the whole keyword or just part of it), select the hive from a drop-down menu, and proceed with the scanning procedure. Plus, you can enable case sensitive mode.

When the scanning process is done, you can view the total found items, along with the issue and key. You can make a selection of entries to delete them from the Registry; the program offers to create a backup before doing so.

The application requires a massive amount of CPU and system memory while it scans the Registry; this task could take a very long time, depending on the size of your hard drive. It became unresponsive during our tests when we attempted to stop the scanning procedure. Plus, the app has not been updated for a very long time. Other than that, Registry Scan Tool supplies users with a pretty powerful utility for scanning and deleting Registry entries.
