Hi everyone!

Since I've heard numerous requests over time asking for an advanced registry extension, I decided to create Registry++. It's not like other advanced extensions, mainly because it does not have many actions. However, it is very powerful, hopefully quite simple, and can do basically any registry-related task. It has many improved features over the Registry2 Object (a list can be found in the included help file) and also has a more powerful structure.

The object works using 10 "data slots" that each hold a location in the registry. This system allows you to operate on many parts of the registry at a time. For example, slot 0 can be in the key "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ .mfa" and slot 1 can be in the key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft". The registy can then be read from and written to through both of those keys.

Be very careful when using this extension. Incorrectly editing the registry can severely damage your system.

If you have any questions, comments, or bug reports, please post here. Enjoy!

Does anyone have comments on this object?

Very cool extension, Jaffob! Thanks!
I am still testing some uses out, but so far, no problems.

Won't really start testing until the remote aspect is build in.

If you mean the remote connection feature, I didn't want to add that until the object was bug-free. Once it's been tested thoroughly I will be able to implement remote connection.

Why is no one testing this extension? Only 17 downloads in 2 days?

I got it and like the idea and will be trying it out at some point but have never worked with the registry other than using CCleaner and similar apps.

Since i haven't and don't know much now i would be cautious about using it because i hear you can mess the computer or programs installed sometimes. Maybe others have a similar view and i know many here are more interested in game dev rather than apps so that could be the reason for not many downloads. Your extensions have been really amazing though and im sure this one is also.

Why only 10 slots?

I tested this extension for the last couple of days, and had no problems at all. It is very cool to be able to do things I was not able to do with the old registry object. Thanks for the great extension, Jaffob!

Thanks for helping with the tests. Does saving and loading files work for you? It doesn't on my computer.


I didn't feel as though I would ever need more than 10, so I didn't think anyone else would. But for the final version I'll probably use a vector for storing slots instead of an array, so there will be unlimited slots.

You.. used a static array? Why!
