Search Registry

There should be an option in Registry to Find a Key Forward & Backward.
Remember, Notepad's Find command. You can find a string next or back to
cursor position.

This is because, sometimes quickly searching for a Registry Key, we by
mistake jump to next key and there is no option to move back and we have to
search the entire registry again.

This little option can save a lot of time.

Please don't suggest other Registry Editor's. I am talking about the inbuilt
feature of Windows.

Comments will highly be appreciated.

Great idea! And while they're at it, hopefully they'll remove the memory of
what key you had open last. I hate having to close the tree every time I
start Regedit before I can look for what I want the next time. I can't
imagine that users actually asked for that feature.

I think remembering the last used Registry Key is a good feature but not for
everyone. In my case, if I like to refine the search from top then I just
press Home key and then F3. To close the tree, I press Left Arrow Key on the
Expanded one.

I will also like to know you view on my perious suggestion "Serial Key
Shortcut". Search it and let me know your views.

You can always just change the permissions on the key where it remembers
the last key so it can't do that behavior.

Good idea! I have always just deleted the key in my logon/logoff scripts
but with my way, it only forgets where you were on a reboot.

Thanks for the tip.

Oops, I trimmed the wrong part of the post.

Should have been:

How do you do this?
