Editor Options

Resplendent Registrar offers a set of advanced options which allow you to customize the behaviour of the built-in registry editor and the program in general. To open the Editor Options dialog, choose Tools -> Options...  from the main menu.

Read-Only Mode
If you want to browse your registry without having the fear to change it accidentally then this is a good safety option. If you check this box, changes to the registry will be blocked.

Try to open registry keys by force if access is denied (Win XP/2000/NT only)
This setting will allow you to view those parts of the registry that users normally do not have access to and registry editors normally do not show.

Automatically bring up value properties when creating new values
If this box is checked then you will automatically be taken to the value property editor when creating a new value.

When searching, do not display registry keys and values related to Registrar
Check this box to hide the registry keys which Registrar uses for storing internal data such as undo information. Often these can have confusing results.

Jump to last opened registry key on startup   
If this box is checked, the program will always startup with the last opened local registry key.

Prompts
Select Prompt before making any registry changes to have a confirmation box pop-up every time you perform a registry operation. 
Select Prompt only before copying, moving, deleting or renaming keys or values will make you prompt for confirmation only when a potentially destructive registry operation takes place. have a confirmation box pop-up every time you perform a registry operation.
If you wish to have no confirmation prompts at all as a safeguard, then you can select the option Never Prompt when editing. However enabling this option is not recommended by the authors of this software as this may lead very quickly to corrupted registry data since an unintentional key press or drag & drop movement is easily made.

When dragging & dropping
Choose Do Nothing not to have any action take place when you drag one or more registry keys/values onto another key. If you wish to use drag & drop to perform copy operations on other registry keys, select  Copy Keys/Values. If you wish to test if the contents of two registry keys are equal by using drag & drop then select Compare Keys.

Prefix to use on new values
