Utility used for editing the
MicrosoftWindows Registry. Not to be confused with
ResEdit.
Someone at
MicroSoft probably once said, "Nobody will ever need to use
RegEdit to tweak a Registry system parameter".
(Wait. Doesn't your right to customer support get revoked when you *do* use
RegEdit to stop Windows from screwing itself? (See Abandoned
VbClassic GUIDs below)
Tweaking the Registry is the equivalent of going to the Unix /etc folder and editing one of the various files in there in its various file formats.

RegEdit is especially useful for manually cleaning up all the GUIDs

It allows you to export, merge and query the registry, and gives you an appropriate ERRORLEVEL back.
This can be particularly useful when writing test scripts.
