Overview
What is REGLN?
REGLN : Lightweight console-based application that helps you create registry symbolic links without hassle, building shortcuts that point to a specific registry key
In depth
A closer look at REGLN
Registry links are nothing more than shortcuts for specific registry keys, following exactly the same principles as a shortcut you create on the desktop in Windows. They point to a specific path in the system's registry, allowing instant access to that particular location.This is particularly useful when you need two separate registry keys to point to exactly the same registry section or data. One example is when creating two editions of the same application, one for 32-bit systems and the other for 64-bit ones. One example is the 'HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet' key that is actually a shortcut for the ControlSets.Creating registry links is not a piece of cake, but REGLN makes it seems like it is. Running in the Windows console only, it requires the user to have a bit of experience with commands and the console. But overall, this command line utility provides a simple syntax that enables users to generate a new symbolic link in the system's registry without effort.Running it reveals usage examples, displaying the syntax, alongside explanations and a conclusive example to show you how the utility works. Both Win32 key names and NT Namespace Paths can be used as parameters.Practically, you must run REGLN and then type in or paste the name of the new registry link key (the one that you are about to create), followed by the target registry key (an existing key in the registry). Optionally, you can delete a link with REGLN or create a volatile registry link, which only exists in the memory.
