Reg Organizer offers a convenient way to search a key or a parameter by its name or value. You need to select a key and in the right-click context menu choose the “Search in this key…” command. The program will switch to the search and replace mode allowing you to perform a search within the selected key.

Reg Organizer includes a wide range of functions to work with the system registry. Here are the main capabilities of the program.

In one of the articles, we already told you that Reg Organizer has a special tool to install software and keep a log of changes, allowing the user to track all modifications of the system during the installation of software. The program monitors all changes made to the registry and hard disks (you can select a disk to monitor in program settings).

However, it may be useful to monitor changes not only during the installation of a new application but also when you run a program that has already been installed. Usually, this kind of monitoring is used to examine the performance of an application over a specific period of time. For this purpose, you can use the tool for creating and comparing snapshots of the registry which is available in Reg Organizer.

Reg Organizer has a special tool that allows you to edit registry data directly. The tool is called Registry Editor. The editor offers many options for performing various operations on the registry. These options considerably exceed those that you can get in the standard Windows registry editor, Regedit.

Using Reg Organizer, you can edit, create and delete keys, parameters and their values. The editor can be used to export and import a specific key, set of keys, or the entire registry to file, edit registry files (.reg) and modify selected values. Now let’s see how you can use all this to maintain your registry.

Reg Organizer offers the tool for defragmenting and compressing files that contain the registry. Using this tool, you can rewrite compressed registry files on disk contiguously, eliminating fragmentation of data.

The optimization process consists of two steps. To begin, it is recommended to close all applications and disable antivirus software because Reg Organizer blocks registry files during the optimization. As a result, other applications may fail to run properly because they are not able to save data to the registry. When the optimization finishes, you need to restart the system. It is necessary to mention that some files are not optimized.

There is a light version of Reg Organizer called Registry Life. This version has only two basic features: registry cleaning and registry optimization. The program cleans the registry in the automatic mode.

Compared to the full-featured program, Registry Life makes it even easier to maintain the registry for beginners who do not have any knowledge of the registry. Cleaning the registry is as easy as selecting the appropriate menu option. You can choose parts of the registry to be scanned and disable additional options used by default.

How many programs are installed on your computer? Most likely you have plenty of them. And these are only the main ones. There are also trial versions that you install for evaluation. When a new program is installed in the file system, new files and records are added to the registry. After uninstalling trials and demos, some data is left in the registry to make it impossible for the user to install a demo version again.

The registry stores information that is necessary to configure the operating system for users, applications and hardware devices. As the user uninstalls programs, the registry accumulates much data which is no longer associated with files, settings and applications. This data is redundant and can cause errors and loss of system performance. To avoid these consequences, it is recommended to clean the registry on a regular basis.

Editing the registry is one of the main functions of Reg Organizer. The program offers a feature-rich editor that can be used to clone registry keys, view information on any key, export or import a specific key or part of the registry to file, search and bookmark keys as Favorites. All these operations are intended for advanced users who know the registry well.
