Apparently u can get the old regedit on windows 10 By copying regedit and its mui from a fresh copy of 8.1
The difference abt the windows 10 registry editor and 8.1's that the registry editor's icon is changed also The address bar is gone

The address bar is one of the best thing that happened to regedit. Why would you want to remove it lol.

I told myself the same thing, especially since it's easy to change the icon on the current regedit. On the other hand, if anyone knows how to make the old regedt32 work in modern Windows, I'm interested.

Which one does this replace? I assume this is from a 64 bit version of Windows, so C:\Windows?
EDIT: I tried it, it does indeed go in C:\Windows.

I'd just like to add, regedt32 works fine without any modifications, though I'm not sure how safe it actually is to edit the registry with such an old program, though just to clarify I'm not that well educated on how these things work. Anyone who knows more than me, feel free to add |

Anyone who knows more than me, feel free to add That still exists in WIndows 11, but now it's a stub that opens Registry Editor. |

I know about the stub, that's existed since windows xp and it just opens the default registry editor regedt32 and progman were nt 3.1's registry editor and program manager and were left over in windows nt up until 2000/xp and both were reduced to stubs, but regedt32 is different from the current registry editor
I think this version was from 3.1, but I'll have to check

Sennanon I asked this question because I can't get regedt32 to work. I tried Windows version NT 3.51, NT 4 and 2000.

Anyone who knows more than me, feel free to add There's no security to the Windows registry to begin with (except user account ownership, like the file system), so I think it's fine. The Windows registry editor is really a just simple program that does just enough for whenever you may need to manually modify the registry. |

The Windows registry editor is really a just simple program that does just enough for whenever you may need to manually modify the registry. Indeed, I modified a few values, and it seems to work without problem. My only doubt was a risk of corruption linked to a possible encoding difference, but that may be unfounded.
I like regedt32 because it is based on the MDI display mode, while maintaining a simple interface. The things it lacks is just context menu support, import/export of modern .reg files and 64-bit version (and support for QWORD values). |
