RegFind was the very first registry search program. It was made during the early Chicago beta test (Windows 95) days when it became quite clear that ini files would be dumped and that all configuration information would be kept in the Win32 registry. The very first version was made available on Compuserve, the official beta-testers forum for discussions on the upcoming operating system. A few days later the RegEdit utility sprouted a find menu item. The rest is, as they say, history.

Please read the license before you download the utility. The instructions for usage of RegFind also contain an explanation of command line parameters.
