Re: efficient methods of looking up registry entries

Are there any registry websites that are good for hunting down
specific entries? I have many tweaks I need to make (for a windows
xp embedded image), and finding them seems very time consuming.
Ideally, such a site could do a search for something like "Show icon
in notification area when connected" and find the corresponding
registry entry, at least within 15 minutes of searching through the
results. I would use a registry diff tool to try and figure out
where a specific change is, but the registry constantly makes tons of
changes; and these tools don't seem easily useful.

Any tips/tools/websites you use to locate a specific registry entry
would be useful.
Thanks,

RegScanner is a small utility that allows you to scan the Registry, find the desired Registry values that match to the specified search criteria, and display them in one list. After finding the Registry values, you can easily jump to the right value in RegEdit, simply by double-clicking the desired Registry item.

I have installed and used it and it seesm to work OK
