ScanReg Description

ScanReg is a lightweight tool that you can use to scan the Windows registry in order to search for a string to extract registry keys and values. The Windows registry is a hierarchical database in which your computer keeps configuration settings that belong to operating system components and applications that are installed. The keys are containers and the values are the files that exist within them. ScanReg allows you to perform in depth scans and locate the strings you require and is also capable of exporting them to a file. The application doesn’t come with any kind of user interface. It’s a tool that you can use from the Windows Command Prompt environment and in order to extract the information you need, you have to supply it with the right commands. In this case, it’s fairly simple. ScanReg is able to perform a case-sensitive and recursive search of the whole registry for the string you need. Once it finishes, it displays on your screen the keys and values. ScanReg is a tool that can be applied and used in fields that cover customer support. Since it takes up very few resources and is easy to handle, you can use it to scan a client's registry for the data you need and avoid using risky third party applications altogether. In closing, if you're looking for a straightforward and practical method of searching your system registry for specific strings, you can certainly use ScanReg.
