Integrating RegJump as a TextPad tool

[Alex K. Angelopoulos]

Sysinternals have just released a commandline tool named RegJump that will jump to a registry path given as an argument.

It makes a handy tool for use with TextPad, since you can use a $SEL macro on a registry key displayed in TextPad to immediately jump to the registry location. Here's one way to use it.

+ Download RegJump and put it in a folder in your path.

+ Add a new DOS tool named RegJump.

+ After applying the change, go to the properties of the tool. Make sure the parameters look like this:
regjump $SEL
and you may also wish to check the boxes for 'Run minimized' and 'Close DOS window on exit'

+ Hit OK, and you will have RegJump on your tools menu. When you select a base key path (abbreviated like HKCR or long like HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT both work) displayed in TextEdit and run the tool, you immediately have regedit open and autonavigate to the named key.

If you would have a lot of commands set in the Tools menu,
So parameters would be regjump $SEL

If you want to roll your own RegJump... This is for vb6-. I use this version in a multi purpose utility. This was originally adapted from vbs code.

Private Sub Main()
Dim WshShell As WshShell, key$

On Error Resume Next

Set WshShell = New WshShell
key$ = Trim$(Command())
If key = "" Then key = "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Regedit\Favorites"
If Left$(key, 12) <> "My Computer" Then key = "My Computer" & key

WshShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Regedit\Lastkey", key, "REG_SZ"
WshShell.Run "regedit", 1, True
Set WshShell = Nothing
End Sub
