Browsing and Editing with Registry Editor
Because of the registry’s size, looking for a particular key, value, or data item can be daunting. In Registry Editor, the Find command (on the Edit menu; also available by pressing Ctrl+F) works in the forward direction only and does not wrap around when it gets to the end of the registry. If you’re not sure where the item you need is located, select the highest level in the left pane (Computer, if you’re searching your own registry) before issuing the command. If you have an approximate idea where the item you want is located, you can save time by starting at a node closer to (but still above) the target.
