Editing the Registry
The main registry editing window is where Registrar Lite starts. You will see a tree and a view representing the keys and values of your registry. You can browse just as if it were Windows explorer, but then instead of folders you see registry keys and instead of files you see registry values. You can use the same navigation buttons (forward, back, up) as in Explorer. Also, the copying and moving of keys can be accomlished in the same manner through cut, copy and paste or using drag and drop.

Browsing registry keys
You can navigate through the registry tree in order to find the key. (Note: if the registry tree is not visible, select Registry Tree from the View menu). If you already exactly know the registry key you want to examine you can also directly type the title into the address bar. By selecting a key in the registry tree, the contents automatically become visible on the right.
Expanding and collapsing registry branches
The + and - signs in the registry tree can be used to expand and collapse registry branches. Note that there is an option Expand All that you can choose from when you right click on a key in the registry tree. Selecting this option will expand any branches that can be found in any of the subkeys of that branch. Depending on the amount of subkeys of the branch, this can take a long time.
Creating new registry keys
You can create new keys by selecting the key under which you want to create a new key and then select New key from the Edit menu. Alternatively, you can select the registry key in the tree or in the view and choose Create subkey from the popup menu that will appear when you right click. Also, using the button on the toolbar can be used for this purpose.
Deleting registry keys or values
To delete a registry key or value, select the item you want to delete and select Delete from the main menu or from the popup menu that appears when you right click on the key. Note that when deleting keys, all subkeys and values under the key will also be deleted.
Renaming registry keys or values
Select the item you want to be renamed and choose Rename from the Edit menu or the popup menu. You will be prompted for a new name.
Properties for registry keys or values
Registrar Lite allows you to view registry keys or values in detail. Select the item for which you would like to see the property page, and choose Properties from the Edit menu or the popup menu.
Refer to Key Properties or Editing registry values for more details.
