USAGE =========================================================================== scanreg <[-s] searchstring> < [-k] [-v] [-d] > [[-r] rootkey] [-c] [-e] [-n] -s string to search for -r root key to start search from (default = HKEY_CURRENT_USER). Root key can be abbreviated as follows: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - lm HKEY_CURRENT_USER - cu HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT - cr HKEY_USERS - us -k search keynames (NB : must specify at least one of -k -v or -d) -v search valuenames -d search data -c search case sensitive (default : case INsensitive) -e return only exact match (default : return all matches) -n no color in output (default : keys red, values green, data yellow) Command-line parsing is flexible.

If this annoys you, use the -n option to disable the use of color in the output. 3 ScanReg was developed by Ruud van Velsen of Microsoft Benelux. The program is not officially supported by Microsoft, but any feedback is welcome.
