Open Regedit Directly To A Key?

This will let you open regedit directly to a registry key stored on your clipboard (via shell extension)

Instructions: Install .reg, then copy a registry key to your clipboard. Right click anywhere and "Open Registry".

Can be in either long or short name format. Translates HKCR, HKCU, and HKLM to their full names on the fly. Feel free to change the MUIVerb to anything you prefer. Is working on W7/W8/W2012.

Here are some sample keys for you to test with.

Code:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTDirectoryBackgroundshell
HKCRDirectoryBackgroundshell

HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerAdvanced
HKCUSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerAdvanced

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerCommandStoreshell
HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerCommandStoreshell
;

and here is the .reg. I'll attach a .zip if feedback is good.

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTDirectoryBackgroundshellOpen_Registry]
"MUIVerb"="Open Registry"
"icon"="regedit.exe"
"Position"="Top"
"HasLUAShield"=""
