This tweak allows you to reset the location and parameters of the Registry Editor (REGEDIT) back to the system defaults. This is useful if Regedit is not being displayed correctly.

Open your registry and find the key below.

Make a backup of the key and then delete the values: "FindFlags", "LastKey" and "View".

Restart the Registry Editor.

Settings:

User Key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\
Regedit]
