Add Registry Editor to Control Panel
It's always struck me as odd that system tweakers use the registry editor all the time to fix annoyances in Windows, but nobody has created a tweak to add the registry editor to the control panel… until now.
I've created a registry hack to add the registry editor as another option in the Control Panel in either Vista or XP.
Usage in Windows Vista
After installation you'll need to choose System and Maintenance in the control panel.
And you'll see the new Registry Editor item at the bottom of the list:
Perhaps most useful, it's now available through the start menu search box.
Usage in Windows XP
After installation you'll see the new icon in Control Panel if you choose the classic view.
Installation
Just extract and double-click on the installation script. You can remove using the included removal script.
wow! I never knew where to find regedit (not even back in Windows XP, 98, 95 - was there a registry in Win 3.11? I can't remember ). I always go start->run and type regedit.. it's a lot faster.
Thanks for this. Off mark, but how can you stop Vista from caching thumbnails and where does Vista store it's thumbnails?
Thanks for this, very helpfull. I was wondering where regedit was in vista.
Cheers
could not work better. see why I want to be a geek. then maybe I could do things like this.
Worked for me! On Vista and XP! Thanks!
