This is a script I wrote to list registry keys in Win32.
I used to use regedit.exe or regedt32.exe.
But it is too slow when there are a lot of subkeys in a key, or connecting to a remote machine.
Because of this I wrote regtool.pl
Commands:
Change current key:
cd key
List a key:
dir key (also 'ls')
Quit
quit (also 'exit')
I hope it results useful. Regards. Hopes
