Well you can do it with remote registry editor that comes with EVC from Microsoft. So I guess you could do it from your own app too, via Active Sync (using RAPI or some such).

You can edit the registry with Pocket Controller-Enterprise found here http://www.soti.net/default.asp?Cmd=Products&SubCmd=PCEnt and you can always find it at the right price....

Registry Workshop (Best of All) just an EXE and you can see your registry in your PC or in your PDA

Utility to Compare Registry ?

Greetings,
I had some strange behaviour recently on my Wizard which after much analysis decided to try a hard reset. It worked like a charm and all is well now.
I had to re-install my programs and settings and I also understand that the registry gets returned to factory defaults.
This leads me to something I remember seeing for Windows XP which was a utility that compared reg keys, either using an original and current copy of the registry as a basis for comparison or a real-time utility that informed the user each time a key got changed.
I don't think the Wizard CPU could cope with the latter but a reg compare utility might be useful for future. Does anyone know of such a beast ? I did do some searching and checked the Wiki but couldn't find anything.
TIA,
Tony

I'm looking for the exact same thing. Certain apps change some settings after an install and I want to go into the registry and delete them.

Does anyone know of a good FREE app on the PC side to compare the contents of 2 txt files??
I found SPB Backup backs up the registry into a few text files (this is after you extract them from the backup).
I'm looking for something like this, but free : www.grigsoft.com/wincmp.htm

Personally, I use an XML query of he Reg CSP and then use an XML comparison tool (XML Notepad 2007) to look at whats changed.

I think you have a couple of decent options here... firstly, you could install PHM Registry Editor on the PPC, export the registry both before and after any changes you make. Then copy the exported files to the PC and check for changes using Windiff. This will tell u what has been added, changed or removed between the two files.
Alternatively, take a look at SKTracker (Google) - this app lets you take snapshots before and after, then compare (registry and file changes).
I've used both methods with success, see what you think.

I know this different from the topic a bit, but I was curious if you guys knew of a free registry cleanup app.

Registry Editor

As we all know, a registry editor is pretty important when modding our devices. I personally hate doing registry edits on my wizard and it JUST SO HAPPENS that today while searching for a new registry editor (i lost my wizard in toronto a week ago and didnt have any software for it anymore!) i found one that works wonders and is based from a PC instead of the PPC. seems to work well for me. check it out! it is attached and it is freeware. it seems to work great with WM6 so i would say its safe to assume it will work with at the very least 5 also if not older versions of WM.
just thought id give back to the community since i have used this resource time and time again!

Total Commader and Task Manager, which come with many custom ROMs, already contained a full-featured registry editor with import/export functions, so why install another one?

this is not based from the PPC if you read my post. its much easier to navigate via your pc as i mentioned in my post.

Just use mymobiler. You can do EVERYTHING on your mobile from your desktop with that program. Then TotalCommander or another program can retain their value as multifunction programs capable of file management, text file editing, and registry editing.

personally as a geek myself, if there is an app that removes the actual interaction of the PPC and moves it into a native windows app id much rather use that. the problem with this app is it still mimics the physical interaction of the PPC. something the registry editor i posted above isnt doing. its mimicking regedit in windows but accesses your PPC.
just to prove my point here are two pics of examples.

Reg edits for Wing

I can't seem to locate the process / program I would need to be able to do Registry Edits on my wing. There is some cool stuff I would like to do like move my temp folder to my mSD card and so forth. However, I can't seem to find the way to view / edit the registry.
Would anyone like to help me out?

Advanced Configuration Tool

This handles all the major regedits in a nice user interface. I would recommend this over manually changing regedits. But to answer you question Total Commander will work great for free.

there seems to be a bunch of cool stuff in the packet you sent me. Thanks.
the one thing I was really looking for that is not in those cabs in the is basically the following.
Registry: HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone
Key: ShowSim (dWord)
Default: 1 (show)
New Value: 0 (hide)
I have no freaking idea how to do this on my phone. I have total commander and Reglogger both installed and they appear like jibberish. do i need to export something, bring it onto my pc and then import it back? I can't actually FIND the reg stings in either of those programs.
I dont mean to unload or anything, but I have modded PSP's / iphones / hacked my xbox. all kinds of stuff like this, but I have never had something just completely STUMP me like this before.
*cheers to the noob in me*

dear gold almight i found the wiki
and now things in the lines of RegEdits seem to be moving along smooth sailing.
Thank you for the help

Some Imagio Modification / Tweak .cabs to Share

quoting Step 13 from above "13. Using a registry editor (I use CeRegEditor, it's free) connect your phone to your computer and open its registry. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER -- software -- HTC -- Manila. Look for the HomeBackgroundPath key and change its value to '0'. Save your changes and soft reset your phone."
I have only tested these on my device...and they all worked. Backup your registry before installing these.
I would also like to thank meanngreen for posting CeRegEdit here http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=98412.
Let me know...!

thanks for posting these, it would be great to keep this going with links like in the TP2 forum.
