regedit.exe is a GUI based registry editor. A console based registry editor is reg.exe
Surprisingly, at least to me, regedit.exe is located under %SystemRoot% rather than under %SystemRoot%\System32.
regedit.exe can be used in cmd.exe to import data into the registry or to export portions of the registry.

Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jeelani [verified] ❲Hot · 2025❳

"Wake up. The real journey has not yet begun." Who in your life needs to hear the message of radical honesty, patient perseverance, and spiritual integration today? Share this with someone who is seeking depth in a shallow world.

But here is the detail we often skip: After that event, Abdul Qadir Jilani spent in the wilderness and the back alleys of Baghdad. He didn't become famous overnight. He worked as a laborer. He begged for scraps. He wandered the ruins of cemeteries at night, weeping in prayer. sheikh abdul qadir jeelani

People didn't just listen to him—they dissolved . Non-Muslims embraced Islam in droves. Criminals left their weapons at his door. Why? Because he offered no magic spells. He offered accountability. One of the most profound things about Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani is that he was both a strict jurist (following Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal) and a mystical lover (a Sufi shaikh). Today, we have a false dichotomy: "legalistic Islam" vs. "spiritual Islam." The Sheikh smashed this division. "Wake up

Showing an (independent) registry hive

The menu File -> Load Hive allows to show an «independent» registry hive. This menu is active when one of the «top level» keys (such as HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE or HKEY_CURRENT_USER) is selected.
This operation only shows the data of the hive, it does not import it.
When such a hive is loaded, its data can be modified normally.
The menu File -> Unload Hive will disassociate the loaded hive from regedit.
See also reg load and the WinAPI function RegLoadAppKey.

Favorites

The menu Favorites allows to add and remove registry paths so that they can quickly be navigated to. Added paths are also shown in this menu.
The favorite paths are stored in the registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Regedit\Favorites

Opening the registry at a given key

Unfortunately, regedit.exe does not have a command line option to specify a registry key that should be displayed when regedit.exe starts.
However, regedit.exe stores the last visited key in the registry (where else) under the value LastKey in the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Regedit.
So, in order to open the registry at a specific key, one needs to first change the value of LastKey and then start regedit.exe.
This idea is implemented in the batch file regat.bat and the PowerShell version regat.ps1. regat stands for registry at.
The same idea is formulated with the Perl module Win32::TieRegistry which can be used to manipulate the registry with Perl: op-reg-at.pl.
Another tool that does the same thing is regjump.exe (by Sysinternals).

Exporting a sub-tree

Choosing *.txt format when exporting a sub tree causes the produced file to reveal the time stamps of the last write time.
