  Here is a picture of the analysis of clarification;    Can someone check to see if it is installed in their computer files?  Thanks, D.Shepherd

  

  If you look in the correct folder, and use the correct file name, you would be able to find regedt32.exe:

  

  There was formerly a difference between regedit.exe and regedt32.exe but since Windows XP, when you start regedt32.exe, it ends up running regedit.exe:

  https://support.Microsoft.com/en-us/KB/141377

  So use either one you want, but whatever you choose, you're going to get regedit.exe.

  Remember that there is no cancellation or exit without saving when you use the registry editor, so it is prudent to have a strategy that if you make a mistake and your system becomes unusable (not start) when you have done, you will have a way to cancel the changes.

• Help? A matter of search for Windows 7...

  I need to do a search for - only - hidden files or folders.  I know I can put Explorer "Show hidden files and folders", but it shows - all files, not just those with the hidden attribute.  I don't want to go through every file on my machine to pick them up.

  Any help would be appreciated, thanks :)

  We cannot directly use Windows 7 search to generate a list of items with a specified attribute.  We can however in the command prompt.  Or, a third option is to use another software of research that is out there that allows searching by attribute.

  If using Windows 7 search, search using other properties you want, and then set the results window to display the named attributes column.  (You can specify the columns of information appear - just right-click on any column title to display a menu, then click more... for a list.)  Move the pointer of the mouse on the title attributes column and button click the arrow that appears to the right of the title.  Click to put check marks in the boxes to the left of the desired attributes and combinations of attributes in the list of choices that appears.

  Alternatively, with search for Windows 7, you can search with the attributes property, but oddly only by a numeric code that represents the sum of all the attributes of a file could have.  Looking for attributes: 2 will give you all the files that have the hidden only attribute and no other attributes, but because the files can have several attributes, there are numerous possible different amounts you would search too so it isn't practical.

  With a command prompt window, you can navigate the directory (folder or disk) that you want to search in (if you are familiar with the tricks of MS-DOS) and enter:

  dir / a: h/s/b > results.txt

  to create a file named results.txt in the current directory.  Leave aside the/s if you do not want the included subdirectories in the search.  Leave aside the/b (naked format) If you want to see the date, time, size and the information summarized for each file.

  Other software from research that can search by specified attribute includes:

• Problem with search in Windows 7.

  I have trouble with the search in windows 7 I want to help with.

  The two subjects that I found useful but still does not work are http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-files/partial-search-with-a-alphanumeric-filename/88af5142-cbe3-4fdd-a0d7-c417a099b9df and http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-files/windows-7-search-does-not-find-partial-matches/6e6df6b0-b1ff-4bc6-b8c0-569fd57f6dd9. Also http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa965711(v=vs.85).aspx is of no. real help.

  I tried the above but the right solution does not work for me even if it worked for them.

  I have a lot of problems with the search

  In addition, any word with the first letters does not work. In the search for trials, if enter test Yes, register is not. It happens when you search for content or name.

  But sometimes even this rule is broken. If enter the name (including the first part) - the file does not always display (and I manually look at the file in the list - I have even opened the file.) If there is).

  A moment another weird is when I type (name: 'power he don't know) I would be able to find the file "power he knew not18.
  but the type (name: "power he don't know") I would not find it.

  I also want to know what happens if I only know the last part of a file name, for example, I tried (name: * peter) and I also tried (name: * peter *) still does not work on the test name - testpeter.testing.txt

  In another case (content: ~ * ometime *) does not work, also tried to use content: (ometime) to search for the word "sometimes" in a txt file content.

  Please note that the partial search in option file in folder option is 'ON' in all cases.

  Somehow JUST DID AGAIN TEST I have a new file called testing.txt with only a word marcosoft inside, and I can not even find the word even acro with * free *.

  I know the name or content exists because the files that I have tested it with are txt files that I specifically create a new test case.

  I want to be able to look up the correct name. If even the old win 98 can search for the last part of a file name, then why not windows 7?

  Thank you

  When I try to use the search in Windows 7, I received the following message: "Windows cannot access the specific bequest, a file, or a path.

  Hello

  Thanks for posting the question in the Microsoft Community forums.

  I see that you need to know more information on how to set-up an option of advanced search in Windows 7.

  Let's see a few articles and see how it works.

  Searching in Windows 7 can be as simple as typing a few letters in the search box, but there are also techniques of advanced search you can use. You don't have to know these techniques to search for your files, but they can be useful depending on where you are looking and what you are looking for.

• Is there a program that can help me search on Windows 7?

  Original title: I need a program to help me search for windows 7, you can suggest something?

  I just upgraded to a windows 7 machine after 7 years and more on XP. I now find search functions in windows 7 to be almost useless. I do not need, or use libraries. Indexing seems too complex. I think that I'm not the only person who feels that they need a better solution. So what program non-windows can I download which will make it easier for me to find things on my new computer, as it was on my old with XP?

  Since windows 7, I had to rely more on the Google search to find solutions to deal with my problems on windows 7 I found them in the help files provided with Win 7, or the online help.

  Here is a list I made based on the recommendations I've seen, all with the exception of the first freeware:

  Software that can be used instead of search for Windows 7:

• How can I search in Windows 7

  If you download a piece of software and then try searching in Windows 7, I almost never get a response-why microsoft does not have software that works? I can never find what I need even if not look for the downloaded software. Looks like a big waste of time. Why Microsoft constantly wasting my time?

  By default, Windows search only within files if the location is indexed (so he can return almost instant results). You can tell Windows to do intensive research (just as XP would have).

  1. Open the Folder Options (type 'file' in the start menu to find).
  2. In the Search tab, click option 2 ("always search file names and contents '), and then click OK.

  After that, the use of quotes search expression inside files should work, even in unindexed locations.  Searches can take a long time (like XP) but they'll be complete and should return the results you want.
  ____________
  A note more:  If the location is indexed, but your sentence is not be found... this to make sure that the file type is get indexed.  Follow these steps, for example, if you try to find a phrase inside a file non-standard as a JavaScript or PHP:
  1. Type "index" in your Start menu and find the Indexing Options, and then click the Advanced button.
  2. On the File Types tab, find the file type you want to be indexed (Tip: click in the list, and then type the file type as JS letters to jump to it).
  3. With the selected file type, make sure that the 2nd option is selected "Index Properties and file contents", and then click OK to close each dialog.
  I think these two tuning changes would solve 90% of the frustrations of research people usually have with Windows 7.  Please let me know if this helps for you.
