I created the following script that should help. But while doing it, I discovered a bug that prevented an entire root key from being recursively searched. So be sure to download the latest version from http://www.autohotkey.com/download/ if you need to search the entire registry and all of its subkeys.
The below can be modified to use RegDelete when a key is found that you want to delete. However, use caution since such a script could easily destroy your registry if is not designed correctly.
| Code: | ; Recursively search the entire registry for particular value(s).
RegSearchTarget = WinZip ; Tell the subroutine what to search for.
Gosub, RegSearch
return
RegSearch:
ContinueRegSearch = y
Loop, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, , 1, 1
{
Gosub, CheckThisRegItem
if ContinueRegSearch = n ; It told us to stop.
return
}
Loop, HKEY_USERS, , 1, 1
{
Gosub, CheckThisRegItem
if ContinueRegSearch = n ; It told us to stop.
return
}
Loop, HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG, , 1, 1
{
Gosub, CheckThisRegItem
if ContinueRegSearch = n ; It told us to stop.
return
}
; Note: I believe HKEY_CURRENT_USER does not need to be searched if HKEY_USERS
; is being searched. The same might also be true for HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT if
; HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE is being searched.
return
CheckThisRegItem:
if A_LoopRegType = KEY ; Remove these two lines if you want to check key names too.
return
RegRead, RegValue
if ErrorLevel <> 0
return
IfInString, RegValue, %RegSearchTarget%
{
MsgBox, 4, , The following match was found:`n%A_LoopRegKey%\%A_LoopRegSubKey%\%A_LoopRegName%`nValue = %RegValue%`n`nContinue?
IfMsgBox, No
ContinueRegSearch = n
}
return |
Since I'm thinking of adding the above example to the help file, does anyone know if the below comments are accurate?
Note: I believe HKEY_CURRENT_USER does not need to be searched if HKEY_USERS is being searched. The same might also be true for HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT if HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE is being searched.
Edit: Fixed typo.

i got it to work nice script i thought i had the update but not
sorry  i'm hanging with stupid lol
; Recursively search the entire registry for particular value(s).
RegSearchTarget = ; Tell the subroutine what to search for.
can i add a input box like this
RegSearchTarget = input, then the key or would ihave to do it like this
input, then the key and leaveing this out -RegSearchTarget =
and would it be posible to add more then one key to the search ?
it looks simple now i see how you script it like
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, , 1, 1
then
HKEY_USERS, , 1, 1
etc
rather simple now that i been studying your script
pritty good thanx for the help
