Mini Registry Editor1.0

Mini Registry Editor is a feather-light software application that gives you the possibility to enable or disable a few Windows utilities. It doesn't contain complicated options or configuration settings, making it accessible to all types of users.The user-friendly GUI consists of a single window with a neatly organized structure, where all listed Windows features are selected by default. These are Task Manager, Registry Editor, Folder Options, Command Prompt, and Control Panel.

Deactivate Windows features by deselecting them

Unlike most similar apps, this utility doesn't have an button for applying changes after making a selection. Instead, it automatically deactivates all Windows tools whose checkbox you clear.It has buttons for selecting and deselecting all options, as well as for restoring settings to default (i.e. re-enables all OS utilities). The main app window stays on top of other frames, but this can be disabled. There are no other notable options provided by this tool. The Windows tools remain disabled even after exiting Mini Registry Editor.

No setup required, besides .NET Framework

As long as you have .NET Framework installed on your computer, you don't need to set up anything else. This means that you can drop Mini Registry Editor's program files anywhere on the HDD and just click the executable to launch it. Another option is to keep it stored on a USB flash drive, in order to directly run it on any machine with minimum effort.

Evaluation and conclusion

We haven't come across any stability issues in our tests, thanks to the fact that the program didn't freeze, crash or prompt error messages. Unsurprisingly, it had minimal impact on computer performance, running on low CPU and RAM.Although it doesn't have richer options and configuration settings, Mini Registry Editor offers a simple solution for quickly disabling some Windows tools.
