Registry Finder: A fantastic replacement for Regedit

Posted on February 7, 2023

 

Many of the tips I post on this blog involve making changes to the Windows Registry.

The problem is, Windows’ native Regedit Registry Editor can be a real pain to use.

But that being said, like Windows 10 before it, Windows 11’s default privacy settings are extremely invasive.
