File Type Registry Viewer : Fin all registry entries and dependencies for a specific file format, with options to bring up the registry editor thanks to this lightweight tool
All important changes to the system go through registries, and most applications you install also leave traces or add new entries there. Unless you know what you’re doing, system registries are not that easy to modify or find, but applications like File Type Registry Viewer want to make it easier to find just those registry items that interest you.
Quickly locate file format registry entries
Although related to system registries, the application itself doesn’t need to modify any of them in order to properly function, and doesn’t even need to be installed to work. However, you do need to make sure that .NET Framework is part of the Windows set of features, but newer iterations come with in as a default option.As the name might suggest, the application wants to help you identify all the system registries related to specific type f file format. This is done without actually targeting the file itself, but selecting the file format from a drop-down menu, or writing it down in the appropriate field.
Intuitive editing options
The main window of File Type Registry Viewer is structured somewhat similar to the Windows registry editor, with the left panel representing the key browser, while the right pane is used to show and edit details.The context menu shows several management functions, with more being accessed from the upper toolbar. These refer to batch processing, since you can target all files, objects, and folders. However, you need to be extra careful what you edit, because you risk making related functions or applications stop functioning. It’s best to create a backup of all registries before you begin editing, just to be on the safe side.Registry Viewer m
