This is the day 3 I am using the PowerToys following the post. ⏮️ Day 2: Screen Ruler ⏸️ Day 4: Peek ⏭️

📝Description

The Registry Preview is a tool designed to help you preview and edit .reg files. In Windows, the registry is a powerful feature for customizing system behavior. This tool enhances the experience by providing clear visualization and user interactions.

You can access the Registry Preview in two ways:

  1. through the PowerToys menu
  2. right click a .reg file with Preview.

Once opened, the tool will display the registry file dialog: boost-my-productivity-using-powertoys-day-3-registry-preview3.png

🧀Application

Right now, the application doesn’t seem particularly appealing to me, as my primary use case is limited to controlling debugging configurations. That said, the tool does offer a visual solution for editing .reg files, which could be beneficial for users who frequently work with the Windows registry.
