    Registry Search with Wildcard?

    Success!
    1. Starts fast
    2. Runs fast with no visible memory leak
    3. Discovers all matched keys


    Will that new search algorithm be incorporated into the next SB update?

    Hello,

    I have code-signed the executable to make your protection software happy

    Could you please re-download it?

    Does this work now?

    Re: Registry Search with Wildcard?

    The start delay is caused by your protection software (it scans it for a virus) and has nothing to do with the executable. The executable is lauched AFTER the "Do you really want to run this exe" dialog

    Wait, I'll check the scanning process again on a fresh Windows 7 machine...

    It takes a while to start (~30 seconds), but after the Do you really want to run this exe? dialog it's very fast.
    Unfortunately, despite its speed, it doesn't find any keys at all

    Hmmm, on our test machines, it displays both (but with 4500+ keys only).

    Does the re-compiled one work?

    My previous screenshot shows two similar keys.

    Yes, that memory leak slows down the process. But it's down to nearly zero KB in the fixed version.

    Could you please post two more example keys so I can test it?

    It uses a lot of memory too! Searching my Registry, with ~7,000 entries in HK CLASSES, I get memory warnings from Windows.

    Also, it reports only the first of two similar keys.

    You are welcome

    The next version comes with the optimized code to "fix" the annoying bottleneck in the process.
