A lot of Windows and even third party software settings are stored in the registry. Editing the registry is mostly performed by advanced users rather than beginners because wrongly deleting or changing an important registry value can result in an unbootable Windows. This is why it is always good to backup the whole branch of the registry that you want to edit by using the Export function. The exported registry file will be saved as a .reg extension. Importing back the exported .reg file is as easy as running it and clicking the Yes button on the scary warning window that says “Adding information can unintentionally change or delete values and cause components to stop working.”

Microsoft typically does not release Windows EXE files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing regedt32.exe and all other EXE files for Windows. GUI mode: REGEDIT.EXE: Import (merge) a.REG file: REGEDIT.EXE /L:system /R:user /S importfile.REG Export to a (.REG) file: REGEDIT.EXE /L:system /R.

Since registry editing is not really meant for computer beginners, there is a DisableRegistryTools setting in the registry that prevents the user from launching regedit and the command line reg.exe tool. This will also effectively block the ability to import a .reg file. This restriction is useful in a corporate environment to prevent users from messing up their computers but malware also uses this method to prevent the not-so-advanced user from attempting to disable the malware from the registry startup locations.

A simple way to bypass this restriction is to convert the .reg file to other file format such as .exe and .vbs. Here we have 2 freeware tools that can assist in converting .reg file to various formats including batch (.bat) and AutoIt script (AU3).

More commonly known as the Windows Registry Editor, regedit.exe gives users the ability to view settings as well as search for specific entries and even change the values. Download Reg Converter Additional Notes: Basically the converted file will do exact same thing as the.reg file except it is just a different format and method. From what we’ve tested, a converted.reg file to.EXE,.VBS and.AU3 (with AutoIt installed) will work even if the DisableRegistryTools is enabled.

Reg2exe

Reg2exe is a free and open source program that can easily convert a .reg file to an executable .exe file. To use Reg2exe, run the program (Reg2exe.exe) as administrator and click the Register button. The Register button will turn to “Unregister” to show that you’ve successfully registered the command into right click context menu.

To convert a .reg file to .exe, simply right click on the .reg file and select “Convert to .exe” which will create an executable file with the same path and file name as the original .reg file.

Do take note that it is necessary to run the EXE file that was converted from the registry file as administrator, unless User Account Control is disabled. There is a bug in Reg2exe where you cannot unregister the “Convert to exe” command in right click context menu. You can manually delete it in the registry by going to the path below and deleting the whole Reg2exe key.

Alternatively you can download this pre-made .reg file and run it to remove the “Convert to exe” from your right click context menu.

2. Reg Converter

Reg Converter is also freeware and it is able to convert a .reg file into .BAT, .VBS and .AU3 format. After running Reg Converter, first of all select the output format, then browse for the .reg file that you want to convert. Click the Convert button and the registry file content will be converted to the selected output code. You can make changes in the code if you want to and finally click the Save button to create the output file based on the .reg file.

If you find yourself converting .reg files quite often, the context menu options found in the Menu button will be very useful to add commands to right click.

Additional Notes: Basically the converted file will do exact same thing as the .reg file except it is just a different format and method. From what we’ve tested, a converted .reg file to .EXE, .VBS and .AU3 (with AutoIt installed) will work even if the DisableRegistryTools is enabled. However the .bat format will not work since it uses the command line based reg.exe tool which is blocked when the DisableRegistryTools is enabled. Another possible problem with the converted .EXE is some antivirus such as Comodo, McAfee and Symantec will flag it as infected.

This program may be useful for beginners and people who have malware and can’t get rid of it somehow and needs to urgently merge some registry scripts into the registry.

One can easily bypass this restriction by using a vbscript file (Wscript.Shell object has a method called RegWrite, in which you can edit the registry under the Wscript.exe program. Other programs can instantiate activex such as IE, Windows Explorer, mshta, HTML Help, etc because they utilize the IE web browser control.

Also it is possible to edit the registry using an INF file. This type of script has among other features the ability to write to the windows registry under Rundll32.exe.

You can use the command line registry editor too, the command line tool reg.exe, that comes on Windows 2000 and above.

This article describes how to view the Windows registry by using 64-bit versions of Windows.

Original product version: Windows 10 - all editions
Original KB number: 305097

Summary

Regedit Exe Windows 10 Download

The registry in 64-bit versions of Windows is divided into 32-bit and 64-bit keys. Many of the 32-bit keys have the same names as their 64-bit counterparts, and vice versa.

The default 64-bit version of Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) that is included with 64-bit versions of Windows displays both 64-bit keys and 32-bit keys. The WOW64 registry redirector presents 32-bit programs with different keys for 32-bit program registry entries. In the 64-bit version of Registry Editor, 32-bit keys are displayed under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareWOW6432Node registry key.

View 64-bit and 32-bit registry keys

You can view or edit both 64-bit and 32-bit registry keys and values by using the default 64-bit version of Registry Editor. To view or edit 64-bit keys, you must use the 64-bit version of Registry Editor (Regedit.exe). You can also view or edit 32-bit keys and values by using the 32-bit version of Registry Editor in the %systemroot%Syswow64 folder. There are no differences in the way you perform tasks between the 32-bit version of Registry Editor and the 64-bit version of Registry Editor. To open the 32-bit version of Registry Editor, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, and then click Run.

2. In the Open box, type %systemroot%syswow64regedit, and then click OK.

   Note

   You must close the 64-bit version of Registry Editor before you can open the 32-bit version (and vice versa) unless you start the second instance of Registry Editor with the -m switch. For example, if the 64-bit version of Registry Editor is already running, type %systemroot%syswow64regedit -m in step 2 to start the 32-bit version of Registry Editor.

To support the co-existence of 32-bit and 64-bit COM registration and program states, WOW64 presents 32-bit programs with an alternate view of the registry. 32-bit programs see a 32-bit HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftware tree (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareWOW6432Node) that is completely separate from the true 64-bit HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftware tree. This isolates HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, because the per-computer portion of this tree resides within the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftware registry key.

To enable 64-bit/32-bit program interoperability through COM and other mechanisms, WOW64 uses a Registry Reflector that mirrors certain registry keys and values between the 64-bit and 32-bit registry views. The reflector is intelligent, in that is only reflects COM activation data.

Reflected keys

The WOW64 Registry reflector may modify the contents of keys and values during the reflection process to adjust path names, and so on. Because of this, the 32-bit and 64-bit contents may differ. For example, pathnames that contain the system32 registry entry are written as SysWOW64 in the 32-bit section of the registry. The following keys are reflected:
