Free registry viewer for Windows
Screenshots
Total Registry is a free registry viewer utility for Windows developed by Pavel Yosifovich. Essentially, it’s a free alternative to the native registry viewer and explorer utility that comes built into Windows devices. This is a utility that you can use to explore, view, and edit your Windows registry both online and when no internet connection is available.
Native utilities like Windows Regedit.exe are essential to finer points of PC usage, but third-party utilities like Total Registry often come with even more functionality and are usually easier to use. If the possibility of better alternatives to Windows staples excites you, give Auslogics Registry Cleaner and Registry Finder a try.
Manage your registry keys
As mentioned above, your Windows PC already comes preloaded with a registry editor, Regedit.exe. However, the base utility has its limitations. While it offers sufficient operational functionality for the average user, it lacks the finesse that more advanced PC users require. Enter Total Registry. This utility has everything you need in a registry editor all laid out logically and with specific functions in mind.
Manage every aspect of your registry keys, from simple functions like browsing the registry keys from within the built-in registry editor to more advanced operations like checking out key values and making modifications. However, keep in mind that you should only attempt any kind of registry manipulation if you know exactly what you’re doing. One wrong move within a registry editor and you could render your PC useless.
Interface
Total Registry displays your registry keys as a tree and organizes them into a table that denotes the name, type, and size of the various keys, as well as the date that each was last modified. In this way, you have instant access to all the pertinent information regarding your registry keys in one complete interface.
This table view also lets you sort all of your registry keys by column with one simple click. This works similar to the sort function in the Windows file explorer, where you can sort files in ascending or descending order by their date of creation, size, or format.
A superior registry editor for Windows
If you’re in need of advanced features where registry key management is concerned, Total Registry is your utility of choice. It offers far more functionality for advanced PC users than Regedit.exe, lending itself well to developers and system tweakers alike.
Even though some would consider the interface a little outdated, it serves its purpose well and makes registry key management far more user-friendly, provided you know what you’re doing.
