| Open the Registry to a Specific Key SUMMARY: This DOS command in Windows XP will open the registry editor to a specific key.
The Sysinternals website, part of Microsoft TechNet, offers a free registry utility called regJump. This opens the Registry Editor to a specific key of your choosing.
Simply download a zip file, unzip the executable inside Regjump.zip to your main Windows directory, and you can run the following on the DOS command line:
c:\regjump [PATH]
For example, to open the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ Microsoft\Windows key in the Registry Editor, issue this command (all on one line):
regjump HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ Microsoft\Windows
Note that you can abbreviate the main keys like so:
regjump HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows
The abbreviations are:
* HKCR - HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT * HKCU - HKEY_CURRENT_USER * HKLM - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE * HKU - HKEY_USERS * HKCC - HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG
