vipejc Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 I think I've discovered an XP Registry bug. Open Registry Editor. Search for a GUID or any other data type that you've never searched for before. Adjust the proper settings. The Registry does not find a thing. It's there, but the Registry doesn't know it. Now, repeat the process and search for any data that you know Registry Editor has found during one of your past searches. It finds it within seconds. It appears the search algorithm is flawed.
cluberti Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 I've never seen this, and I've searched for GUIDs *many* times, mostly CLSIDs and AppIDs. Perhaps you could define what "Adjust the proper settings" means?

Joseph_sw Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 (edited) Registry search failure that i know of is: Regedit.exe can't search the 'Data' of Binary or DWORD values.these failure exist since win9x and MS never bothered to fix it for XP. Edited September 17, 2011 by Joseph_sw
