Display default values that are not set 
Setting this option will make appear the default value in each registry key, even if it is not set.

Display registry keys in view
Enabling this option will make appear registry keys in the righter pane as well as values. This may be very convenient since file folders are also displayed like this in Windows Explorer. However it makes the program operate slightly slower, especially when operating on keys with many subkeys like HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.
