Commands available from the pop-up menu

You have access to many additional options and commands from the context pop-up menu.

From the right-click pop-up menu you can validate the existence of a selected entry in the registry. To run regedit.exe and open a selected registry key select the Open the Registry Key with RegEdit menu command. For information on how to edit an entry using regedit.exe please refer to the Windows® help.

To verify the existence of an invalid file/folder registry reference you can use the Open the Destination Folder command. Registry First Aid will open a folder that corresponds to the path where an entry should exist.

The Select for Correction option from the pop-up menu allows you to make choices in several ways. With this option you can:

select/deselect all of the items in the list view;
select/deselect only items highlighted in the list view;
invert the selection flag for all items in the list view.

Note: The entries that are checked (selected) in the list view are the only items that will be corrected. They have a checkmark on their left side.

The Highlight option from the pop-up menu allows you to operate on "highlight" flags. With this option you can:

highlight/de-highlight all of the items in the list view;
highlight/de-highlight only selected items in the list view;
invert the "highlight" flag for all items in the list view.

Note: To highlight entries in the list view hold the left mouse button while dragging over the list. The CTRL or SHIFT keys can be used to highlight items in the list view, in the manner like in the Windows® explorer (please refer to the "To select multiple files and folders" Windows® help topic).

The Set corrections for highlighted items to... option from the pop-up menu allows you to set corrections for all highlighted items.

The Save found entries into a text file... command allows you to save all found entries as text. Please refer to the Save found entries into a text file topic.

The Add Highlighted Entries into the excluded Registry Keys list command will add registry keys of the highlighted items into an excluded list. This will avoid finding those registry entries as invalid in future scans. Please refer to the Add/Remove registry entries into excluded lists topic for more information.
